What do you need to know about the Netherlands? The third edition of Discovering the Dutch explores the urgent question of Dutch identity through a rich tapestry of themes that span culture, history, geography, and society. From the legendary William of Orange to today's populist movements, from sea power to innovative water management, from pillarization to postcolonial diversity, and from the timeless paintings of Rembrandt to the vibrant pulse of contemporary literature, this volume unveils the dynamic, modern, and cosmopolitan society behind the iconic dikes and windmills. All chapters are accessibly written by academic scholars explaining the many facets of Dutchness to an international audience from an inside perspective. Vivid vignettes highlight characteristic historical figures, objects, and events featuring in the collective memory of the Dutch. How to understand the orange enthusiasm on King's Day? How did The Hague become the legal capital of the world? How is Anne Frank remembered? And how has the bicycle become a Dutch way of life? Painting a lively and insightful portrait of the Netherlands, this wellbalanced textbook is an indispensable guide for anyone eager to discover Dutch culture and society.
