Reviews

''May this book contribute to a better understanding of the role of immigrants - coming from more than 170 countries of the world - during the last century in making Amsterdam the diverse city it is.''[-]Job Cohen, Mayor of Amsterdam[-][-]''From language and food to housing and religion, Ethnic Amsterdam is full of wonderfully rich material and fascinating insights into how immigrants are creating a new and dynamic multiethnic Amsterdam. The book is an indispensable guide to understanding the far-reaching consequences of immigration in one of the world's most diverse cities.''[-]Nancy Foner, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York[-]
