Morocco and the Netherlands, Society, Economy, Culture (Heftet (myke permer))

Morocco and the Netherlands have a shared history that goes back as far as the seventeenth century. In the past four hundred years their relationship has had its ups and downs. Even today Dutch people and Moroccan people are being thrown back and forth between feelings of fear and distrust and feelings of hope and solidarity. In this book over twenty-five authors try to shed a light on numerous different aspects of society, economy and culture in, and the relations between the two countries. They focus on the tensions between tradition and modernity and cover subjects such as: Moroccan family law, Morocco and the European Union, the Berber struggle, migration and equal citizenship, young Moroccans in the Netherlands, gender education in Morocco, literature, architecture, and language and identity.
