The Dawn of Dutch
The Low Countries are famous for their radically changing landscape over the last 1,000 years. Like the landscape, the linguistic situation has also undergone major changes. In Holland, an early form of Frisian was spoken until, very roughly, 1100, and in parts of North Holland it disappeared even later. The hunt for traces of Frisian or Ingvaeonic in the dialects of the western Low Countries has been going on for around 150 years, but a synthesis of the available evidence has never appeared. The main aim of this book is to fill that gap. It follows the lead of many recent studies on the nature and effects of language contact situations in the past. The topic is approached from two different angles: Dutch dialectology, in all its geographic and diachronic variation, and comparative Germanic linguistics. In the end, the minute details and the bigger picture merge into one possible account of the early and high medieval processes that determined the make-up of western Dutch.
Postcolonial Netherlands
"The Netherlands is home to one million citizens with roots in the former colonies Indonesia, Suriname and the Antilles. Entitlement to Dutch citizenship, pre-migration acculturation in Dutch language and culture as well as a strong rhetorical argument ('We are here because you were there') were strong assets of the first generation. This 'postcolonial bonus' indeed facilitated their integration. In the process, the initial distance to mainstream Dutch culture diminished. Postwar Dutch society went through serious transformations. Its once lily white population now includes two million non-Western migrants and the past decade witnessed heated debates about multiculturalism. The most importan...

Alles is cultuur
De cultuurgeschiedenis heeft de laatste dertig jaar een onstuimige groei doorgemaakt. Huizinga maakte een revival door, er kwam aandacht voor de sociale geschiedenis van cultuuruitingen en dankzij de opkomst van de mentaliteitsgeschiedenis en cultural turn in de geesteswetenschappen breidde het domein van de cultuurgeschiedenis zich enorm uit. Alle aspecten van de geschiedenis werden beschouwd onder het gezichtspunt van de cultuur, nu opgevat als het proces van betekenisgeving. Cultuurgeschiedenis was niet langer wat er van de geschiedenis overblijft als de politieke en de sociale en economische geschiedenis hun aandeel hebben genomen; cultuurgeschiedenis gaat nu over alles in de geschiedenis: alles is cultuur. In deze bundel reflecteren verschillende cultuurhistorici op ontwikkelingen in de cultuurgeschiedenis van de afgelopen decennia. Waar liggen lacunes en welke nieuwe mogelijkheden dienen zich aan? Wat heeft cultuurgeschiedenis te bieden inzake identiteitspolitiek, multiculturalisme, erfgoedbeheer en nieuwe technologie?

The Cambridge Handbook of Compliance
Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance.
