Beschreibung
‘Shield’s timely and hugely important work takes fresh perspectives on immigration to
Northwest Europe from Turkey, Morocco and Pakistan in particular. Rather than seeing
a homogenised threat or groups of passive victims, he shows how immigrants have
responded to changing cultures of gender and sexuality in multiple ways. The book does
something genuinely new and comes as a nuanced and carefully argued counter to the
poisonous rhetoric of right-wing nationalists in Europe and beyond.’
- Matt Cook, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
‘This is a remarkable book. With a multitude of sources, Andrew DJ Shield welds together
the history of late twentieth-century immigration to Denmark and the Netherlands and
presents it from the immigrants’ viewpoint. An astute scholarly work, which effectively
refutes some of the most common xenophobic and populist claims of our time, the book
has relevance for how we understand cross-cultural experiences everywhere.’
- Jens Rydström, Lund University, Sweden
‘We tend to forget how solidarity and social cohesion were constructed in past decades. This is a must-read for journalists, policy makers and academics.’
- Marlou Schrover, Leiden University, The Netherlands

“This book explores how western European societies accommodated diversity according to gender, class, ethnicity and sexuality. It convincingly shows how collective amnesia dominates current debates. We tend to forget how solidarity and social cohesion were constructed in past decades. This is a must-read for journalists, policy makers and academics.” (Marlou Schrover, Leiden University, The Netherlands)
