"This meticulously researched and theoretically sophisticated book develops an original, provocative sociological interpretation of contemporary political struggles in the Netherlands around “integration politics”. Uitermark frames his interpretation not only in relation to the specificity of Dutch trends but as a broader contribution to theories of power in modern society. His book offers a brilliant analysis of a key dimension of early 21st century political life." -- Neil Brenner, professor of urban theory at the Harvard Graduate School of Design
|"The study of Justus Uitermark is a must-read for all those international observers who ask themselves: 'What happened to The Netherlands and its longstanding tradition of tolerance?'" -- Jean Tillie, professor of electoral politics at the University of Amsterdam
