| Title | Let's Go Dutch: A Case Study of Multicultural Discourse in the Netherlands |
| Summary | Recent years have seen a rise in discourse regarding a perceived ‘backlash’ against multiculturalism. Yet despite this backlash researchers note that multiculturalism perseveres, albeit under different headings. The Netherlands in particular has become infamous for it’s about face from multiculturalism after the deaths of Pim Fortuyn and Theo Van Gogh. This thesis is a case study of Dutch citizens that aims at discovering how they interpret multiculturalism and how it may differ with commonly practiced policies and academic rhetoric. The results of the interview process establish that this group of citizens conceptualizes multiculturalism as largely unrelated to government-granted group differentiated rates. These results illuminate a difference between multiculturalism as a category of practice and as a category of analysis and may help analyze multicultural relations between citizens in countries with or without these policies. |
