Dutch Racism<\/i> is the first comprehensive study of its kind. The approach is unique, not comparative but relational, in unraveling the legacy of racism in the Netherlands and the (former) colonies. Authors contribute to identifying the complex ways in which racism operates in and beyond the national borders, shaped by European and global influences, and intersecting with other systems of domination. Contrary to common sense beliefs it appears that old-fashioned biological notions of \u201crace\u201d never disappeared. At the same time the Netherlands echoes, if not leads, a wider European trend, where offensive statements about Muslims are an everyday phenomenon. Dutch Racism<\/i> challenges readers to question what happens when the moral rejection of racism looses ground.<\/p>\n
The volume captures the layered nature of Dutch racism through a plurality of registers, methods, and disciplinary approaches: from sociology and history to literary analysis, art history and psychoanalysis, all different elements competing for relevance, truth value, and explanatory power. This range of voices and visions offers illuminating insights in the two closely related questions that organize this book: what factors contribute to the complexity<\/i> of Dutch racism? And why is the concept of racism so intensely contested<\/i>? The volume will speak to audiences across the humanities and social sciences and can be used as textbook in undergraduate as well as graduate courses.<\/p>\n
