Images of the Nation : Different Meanings of Dutchness, 1870-1940 /
:
This collection of case studies investigates the significance and function of national identity. The authors see national consciousness in terms of the circumstances in which it arose, and in terms of the meaning which it had for a specific group or individual. Representations of the nation could serve to legitimize or support specific political or social agendas, or to provide people with a point of fixity amidst changing circumstances. The articles in this volume trace these aspects of national consciousness in the case of a single country: The Netherlands.

De vreselijkste aller harpijen": pokkenepidemieën en pokkenbestrijding in Nederland in de achttiende en negentiende eeuw" : Een sociaal-historische en historisch-demografische stud...
:
Eeuwenlang stonden de pokken in de schaduw van andere plagen, maar rond 1800 werden ze volksvijand nummer één. De ontdekking van het pokkenvaccin leverde een belangrijk wapen in de strijd tegen deze plaag. Grootscheepse inentingscampagnes gingen van start om de pokken te bestrijden, desnoods onder dwang. Dit leidde tot heftige politieke en religieuze discussies. In deze studie wordt voor het eerst systematisch onderzocht hoe de opmars van de poppenvaccinatie in Nederland in zijn werk is gegaan, wie de initiatiefnemers waren, wat hun drijfveren waren en welke hindernissen ze moesten overwinnen. Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan de reakties van godsdienstige groeperingen op een medische ingreep die net zo omstreken was al gentherapie nu. De pokkenbestrijding bleek succesvol: de pokken werden als eerste epidemie bedwongen. Inhoeverre dit het begin van het einde betekende van epidemieën als belangrijkste sterftefactor zal eveneens aan de orde komen. Oorspronkelijk verschenen als proefschrift (Landbouwuniversiteit Wageningen).

Home and migrant identity in dialogical life stories of Moroccan and Turkish Dutch /
:
In Home and Migrant Identity in Dialogical Life Stories of Moroccan and Turkish Dutch , Femke J. Stock explores the multivoiced life stories of Dutch adults of Moroccan and Turkish descent. Focusing on stories about 'home', this book deals with social relationships and being oneself, countries and houses, discrimination and Islamophobia, family and religion, and how these feature in personal narratives. Through microanalysis of case study material using Dialogical Self Theory, this book formulates and substantiates clear insights into descendants of migrants' roots and routes, their sense of home, and their ambivalent processes of (dis)identification and belonging. Showing how religion plays a relatively marginal role in personal narratives, it provides an antidote to the widespread tendency to address and study Muslims almost exclusively in terms of their religious identity.

The Orient in Utrecht: Adriaan Reland (1676-1718), Arabist, Cartographer, Antiquarian and Scholar of Comparative Religion /
:
Adriaan Reland (1676-1718), Arabist, Cartographer, Antiquarian and Scholar of Comparative Religion covers the intellectual achievements of a remarkable man: Adriaan Reland, professor of Oriental languages (1701) and Hebrew Antiquities (1713) at the University of Utrecht from 1701 to 1718. Although he never travelled beyond the borders of his home country, he had an astonishingly broad worldview. The contributions in this volume illuminate Reland's many accomplishments and follow his scholarly trajectory as an Orientalist, a linguist, a cartographer, a poet, and a historian of comparative religions. Reland, although a devout Protestant, believed that religions should be examined objectively on their own terms with the help of reliable and authentic documents, which would dispel the prejudices of the past. Contributors: Lot Brouwer, Ulrich Groetsch,Toon van Hal, Jason Harris, Bart Jaski, Christian Lange, Richard van Leeuwen, Remke Kruk, Anna Pytlowany, Henk J. van Rinsum, Dirk Sacré, Arnoud Vrolijk, Tobias Winnerling and Jan Just Witkam.
