Vincent Icke

Gravity Does Not ExistA Puzzle for the 21st Century

Every scientif ic fact was born as an opinion, gradually becoming fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories that correspond to the phenomena but can’t be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our universe, we keep each in its own domain: space and time for very large things, particles for very small ones. However, 13.8 billion years ago, those two incompatible domains belonged to a single realm. Who will crack this seemingly impossible puzzle? Combining robust scientif ic argument with intellectual playfulness, Icke succeeds in making a notoriously diff icult subject accessible to all readers interested in understanding our universe.

Vincent Icke is professor of theoretical

astrophysics at Leiden University, professor of

cosmology at the University of Amsterdam,

visual artist and writer.

Icke takes on Einstein’s theory of gravitation and succeeds beyond one’s expectations. Martin Veltman

The Key Debates is a fi lm series from Amsterdam University Press. The series’ ambition is to uncover the processes of appropriation and diffusion of key concepts that have shaped Film Studies. The series editors are: Ian Christie, Dominique Chateau, and Annie van den Oever.

Faketekst!!, today, is a challenge – if not a provocation. Cinema is relocating on new devices and in new environments: in its migration, it asks us to change our habits and our attitudes. Are we still spectators – or are we users, surfers, nostalgic buffs, technology experts, hackers and face-book friends? This book provides a deep insight in such a contro-versial situation, both at the theoretical and empirical level – retracing a history and facing a destiny.Francesco Casetti – Yale University

Technē / TechnologyResearching Cinema and Media Technologies, their Development, Use and Impact

This fourth title in the series The Key Debates sets out where the term technē comes from, how it unleashed a revolution in thought and how the concept in the midst of the current digital revolution, once again, is influencing the study of f ilm. In addition, the authors – among them André Gaudreault, Geoffrey Wintrop-Young, Martin Lefevbre, Dominique Chateau, Nanna Verhoeff, Andreas Fickers and Ian Christie – investigate how technologies have affected the major debates about f ilm, how they affected f ilm theory and some of its key concepts. This is one of the f irst books to assess the comprehensive history of the philosophies of technology and their impact on f ilm and media theory in greater detail.

Fellini“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.” Federico Fellini’s career spanned forty years and made him perhaps the most illustrious of all the Italian f ilmmakers. This stunningly designed volume taps into the sources of Fellini’s baroque imagination bringing the power of his work into the limelight, and providing new insights into the dazzling talent of the man behind La Strada, La Dolce Vita and 8½. The book is organised in four parts. Popular Culture focuses on Fellini’s engagement with the popular culture of his time. Fellini at Work shows the director on the set. The City of Women celebrates Fellini’s most important subject and obsession: Woman, in all her many guises. Finally, Biographical Imagination presents his various f ilm personae, with particular focus on his ‘Book of Dreams’. Packed with images and quotes, this unique book offers a magical journey through the director’s compelling universe.

Religious Architecture: Anthropological Perspectives develops new anthropological perspectives on religious architecture, including mosques, churches, temples and synagogues. Borrowing from a range of theoretical perspectives on space-making and material religion, this volume looks at how religious buildings take their place in opposition to the secular surroundings and the neoliberal city; how they, as evocations of the sublime, help believers to move beyond the boundaries of modern subjectivity; and how international heritage status may conflict with their function as community centres. The volume includes contributions from a range of anthropologists, social historians, and architects working in Brazil, India, Italy, Mali, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and the uk.

Oskar Verkaaik is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the university of Amsterdam.

Fabricatingthe absolute FakeAmerica in Contemporary Pop Culture

Jaap Kooijman

Revised and Extended Edition

“A brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable work of cultural critique, Fabricating the Absolute Fake

takes seemingly exhausted concepts like ‘Americanization’ and turns them on their head.

Refusing simple binaries between the fake and the authentic, or between cultural impe-

rialism and native resistance, Kooijman demonstrates just how flexible the signifiers of

Americanness can be when they circulate globally.”

Anna McCarthy, Cinema Studies, New York University

“Most daring and persuasive is Kooijman’s ability to move between and connect the most

delicious pop and the most searing political events (9/11, the murder of Pim Fortuyn),

never evading the seriousness of entertainment nor the spectacle of politics. A book that

is a pleasure for what it conveys of its subject and for its intellectual rigor, managing to

be at once subtle and straightforward, complex and lucid.”

Richard Dyer, Film Studies, King’s College London

“Fabricating the Absolute Fake shows that pop culture is more

than ephemeral entertainment. When looked at with Kooijman’s

cosmopolitan eye, pop culture can be seen as a continuing ritual

in celebration of national identities, America’s identity for sure,

but also, intriguingly, a Dutch or even European sense of self.”

Rob Kroes, American Studies, University of Amsterdam

When rock star Bono told Oprah Winfrey that America is an ideal that is

supposed to be contagious, the talk show host was moved to tears. Such

an imagined America, rather than the nation-state USA, is the topic

of Fabricating the Absolute Fake. Pop and politics become intertwined,

as Hollywood, television, and celebrities spread the American Dream

around the world. Using concepts such as the absolute fake and karaoke

Americanism, the book examines this global mediation as well as

the way America is appropriated in pop culture produced outside of

the USA, as demonstrated by such diverse cultural icons as the Elvis-

inspired crooner Lee Towers and the Moroccan-Dutch rapper Ali B. This

revised and extended edition includes a new chapter on Barack Obama

and Michael Jackson as global celebrities and a new afterword on

teaching American pop culture.

Fabricating the Absolute FakeAmerica in Contemporary Pop Culture

American pop culture dominates the world through its hegemonic presence. This fascinating study applies elements of postmodern theory to this globally mediated phenomenon to examine both the culture itself and its Dutch wake. Exploring how other cultures create their own “America”, the author reflects on what it might mean to truly take part in American popular culture.

Walter Ruttmann and the Cinema of Multiplicity

Avant-garde – Advertising – Modernity

The name Walter Ruttmann recalls enthralling and often controversial contexts. A leading f igure of the interwar avant-garde, Ruttmann enriched the language of the cinema through numerous innovations in f ilm form. His celebrated montage f ilm Berlin. Die Sinfonie der Großstadt (Berlin: Symphony of a Great City, 1927) is still seen as the quintes-sential documentary of urban life in the 1920s. But Ruttmann also made numerous propa-ganda f ilms after 1933, even working alongside Leni Riefenstahl. The f irst monograph on Ruttmann in English, Cowan’s study presents the entire aspect of Ruttmann’s work, while also re-assessing his signif icance in the light of current transformations in f ilm studies. Drawing on the growing interest in “useful” cinema and “sponsored f ilm,” Cowan shows how Ruttmann’s f ilms incorporated and enacted contemporary strategies for “manag-ing” the multiplicities of mass society from Weimar democracy to National Socialism.

The Archaeology of South-East Italy in the 1st Millennium BC

Greek and Native Societies of Apulia and Lucania between the 10th and the 1st Century BC

The f irst millennium BC witnessed dazzling changes: in ninth- to tenth centuries BC the Mediterranean societies began to evolve from a great variety of mostly small entities of predominantly tribal nature until they became the enormous state known to us as the Roman Empire. The Archaeol-ogy of South-East Italy in the 1st Millen-nium BC offers a broad narrative, synthesising the available data and demonstrating how cultural, societal,

economic and landscape changes interacted, and how people adapted to their environment as distinct societies began to emerge.

It surveys the multi-dimensional levels of socio-political organisation, the cycles of centralisation and decentralisation, the origins of the La Tène culture, the emergence of the oppida, and the role of sanctuaries in the construction of collective identities.

Emerging MemoryPhotographs of Colonial Atrocity in Dutch Cultural Remembrance

This incisive volume brings together post-colonial studies, visual culture and cultural memory studies to explain how the Nether-lands continues to rediscover its history of violence in colonial Indonesia. Dutch commentators have frequently claimed that the colonial past and especially the violence associated with it has been “forgotten” in the Netherlands. Uncovering “lost” photographs and other documents of violence has thereby become a recurring feature aimed at unmasking a hidden truth. The author argues that, rather than absent, such images have been consist-ently present in the Dutch public sphere and have been widely available in print, on television and now on the internet. Emerging Memory shows that between memory and forgetting there is a haunted zone from which pasts that do not f it the stories people live by keep on emerging and submerging while retaining their shadowy presence.

and culture at the University of Amsterdam.

ART HISTORY / ASIAN STUDIES

Edited by Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann and Michael North

Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in AsiaWhile the socio-economic and historical aspects of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) have been extensively researched, the role of the VOC in visual culture and the arts has been relatively neglected. This authoritative volume addresses various aspects of cultural exchange between the Low Countries and Asia. Increased prosperity and the flood of imported goods from Asia had a huge influence on seventeenth-century Holland. To cite some examples: when the VOC spread its merchandise throughout the various regions of Asia, Chinese decorative motives became popular in Indonesia. After the lifting of the seven-teenth-century ban on the import of Christian books to Japan, a wave of interest in Dutch culture hit the country, giving rise to Hollandmania, imitation of anything Dutch. Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia offers new insights into the world routes travelled by seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, as well as the rise of Asian influence in the imagery of the Dutch Golden Age.

Confronting the Golden Age

Imitation and Innovation in Dutch Genre Painting 1680-1750

Although a growing number of studies are being published on the Dutch art and society of 1680-1750, genre painting of this era contin-ues to be dismissed as an uninspired repeti-tion of the Dutch Golden Age. Grounded in close analysis of a range of paintings and primary sources, this beautifully illustrated study illuminates the main features of genre painting, and how these related to the paint-ers’ close connections to, on the one hand, collectors, and on the other, to classicism, one of the dominant artistic styles of the time. Three case studies offer the f irst clear picture of the genre painting of the period while providing new insights into painters’ activities, collectors’ tastes and the contemporary art market.

Serrano analyses the relevance of domestic political processes for the EU’s common policies and examines the democratic def icit in the EU foreign policy, thereby highlighting what is unique about it and reflecting on its possible evolution.

Making Migration WorkThe Future of Labour Migration in the European Union

The complexion of labour migration in the European Union has altered dramatically in recent decades. Not only has there been a shift in the length of time labour migrants spend abroad, but the nature, scale and direction of the migration flows have also changed dramatically. The enlargements of the EU in 2004 and 2007 were influential in this respect. The EU’s open internal borders made it easy for the migrants to return home or to move on to another member state. This publication considers what this means for the future of labour migration and how policy should address this issue.

Making Migration WorkThe population of Europe is shrinking. Does that mean that we need more labour migrants? And will they adapt smoothly to our economy and society? Or has Europe already opened its doors too wide? Making Migration Work considers how labour migration policy in the Netherlands and the European Union should be developed, both now and in the future. Several internationally renowned researchers analyse current European labour migration flows and the related challenges.

This book shows that the complexion of migration has changed. Most of the migrants who come to the Netherlands now are Europeans, many of them from Central and Eastern Europe. Some stay for good, and others return home after a shorter or longer stay. The Netherlands also welcomes a growing number of skilled professionals, many from outside Europe. Thanks to the eu’s open borders, migration policy has largely become a labour market issue.

If we are to improve our migration policy, we must have a better understanding of the labour market structure in tomorrow’s globalising economy. Only then can we balance labour migration more effectively against other alternatives. Is it better to invest in training or to recruit employees from abroad? Will foreign workers

even want to come to the Netherlands in future? And how can we adapt our integration policy to reflect the changing complexion of migration? That

will require more from government and employers – and above all, from Brussels.

The Essence of ScenariosLearning from the Shell Experience

In 1965 Royal Dutch Shell started experimenting with a different way of looking into the future: scenario planning. Shell’s practice has now survived for almost half a century and has had a huge influence on how businesses, governments, and other organisations think about and plan for the future. To produce this illuminating study, the authors interviewed almost every living veteran of the Shell scenario planning operation, along with top Shell executives through the years. They identify several principles that both define the process at Shell and help explain how it has thrived for so long. Angela Wilkinson is Counselor for Strategic Foresight

with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and

Development (OECD). Roland Kupers is an associate fellow at the Smith School of

Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University and

Older WorkersThe View of Dutch Employers in a European Perspective

What do employers consider to be the main consequences of ageing personnel? Have organisations been changing their recruitment and retention behaviour towards older workers over time? And what can governments do – according to employers – to increase labour force participation of older workers? This timely study addresses the employers’ perspective on an ageing workforce, considering and comparing

the attitudes and behaviour of Dutch employers with those of employers in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the UK.

Prolonged Employment of Older WorkersDeterminants of Managers’ Decisions Regarding Hiring, Retention and Training

Prolonged and productive employment of older workers is a necessary condi-tion to maintain welfare and social security systems threatened by ageing populations. Yet not much is known about the factors that def ine the opportunities for older workers in the labour market. The current study has evaluated which individual character-istics of older workers, organisations and managers affect managers’ decisions to hire older workers, offer them training opportunities and retain them in organisations, as well as the

potential role of managers’ attitudes on their behaviour with respect to older workers.

Prolonged and productive employment of older workers is a necessary condition to maintain welfare and social security systems threatened by ageing populations. Yet not much is known about the factors that define the opportunities for older workers in the labour market. The current study has evaluated which individual characteristics of older workers, organisations and managers affect managers’ decisions to hire older workers, offer them training opportunities and retain them in organisations. Also the potential role of managers’ attitudes on their behaviour with respect to older workers has been examined.

Willem Middelkoop

The Big ResetWar on Gold and the Financial Endgame

What is money really worth any more? This compelling study outlines the rise of ‘f iat’ money and its associated economic implications. The author provides enough circumstantial evidence to claim a secret War on Gold since the London Gold Pool of the 1960s, highlighting gold’s tradi-tional role as the anchor of f inancial systems. To combat the economic fallout of the credit crisis, governments have allowed their budgetary def icit to increase dramatically. To redress that imbalance, they then have to sell enormous amounts of bonds. As investors stop buying bonds, central banks have to step up to the plate by printing more and more money. Piling more and more bad debt onto the balance sheets of central banks is not a sustainable way to revive the economy. Middelkoop highlights the process as part of our economic endgame which he predicts will eventually lead to a big reset of our worldwide f inancial system.

Seeking Peace in the Wake of War

The Reconfiguration of Europe, 1943-1947

Until recently Europe in the wake of World War II has been studied mainly from the perspective of national states. A whole historiography has been built on studying how national elites worked to restore institutions, power positions and infrastructure in order to re-establish central authority within the territory assigned to each state at the end of the war. The contributors to this illuminating study argue that the issue how peace was conceived and constructed in the postwar period should be understood as an episode of ‘reconfiguration’ in each country, new arrangements were reached within the society, the state and with the international order. Working from an all-European perspective, the authors survey social life during emergency and transition as connected to reconfiguration at the regional, national and international levels.

This Cannot Happen Here

Integration and Jewish Resistance in the Netherlands, 1940-1945

This important study investigates whether and how the integration of Jews into Dutch society influenced their resistance to persecution during the German occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. In addition to the social position of Jews and their group traits that determined Jewish resistance, this study highlights other factors that influenced the forms of their resistance. For this purpose, the author uses a broad definition of Jewish resistance, applies a specially designed conceptual framework of integration and uses specif ic yardsticks to measure the speed and direction of the integration process. Critically engaging with the existing literature and biographical material to further the debate about Jewish resist-ance, this volume is not only the f irst comprehensive study in English of Jewish resistance in the Netherlands during the Holocaust, but also proposes a new interpretation of Dutch and Jewish history.

This book answers the question whether and how the integration of Jews into Dutch society influenced their resistance to persecution during the German occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. In addition to the social position of Jews and group traits that determined Jewish resistance, this study highlights other factors such as individual circumstances that influenced the forms resistance took. For this purpose, it uses a broad and inclusive definition of Jewish resistance, a specially designed conceptual framework of integration and specific yardsticks to measure the speed and direction of the integration process. It makes brief international comparisons to bring out what were typically Dutch phenomena and critically engages with the existing literature and biographical material to further the debate about Jewish resistance. This book is not only the first comprehensive study in English of Jewish resistance in the Netherlands during the Holocaust, but it also offers a new interpretation of Dutch and Jewish history.

The Malaysian Islamic Party 1951-2013

Islamism in a Mottled Nation

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party PAS is the biggest opposition party in Malaysia today and one of the most prominent Islamist parties in Southeast Asia. This work recounts the historical development of PAS from 1951 to the present, and looks at how it has risen to become a political movement that is both local and transnational, track-ing its rise from the Cold War to the age of the War on Terror, and its evolving ideologi-cal postures ̶ from anti-colonialism to post-revolutionary Islamism, as the party adapted itself to the realities of the post-modern global age. PAS’s long engagement with modernity and its nuanced approach to the goal of state capture is the focus of this work, as it recounts the story of the Islamist party and Malaysia by extension.

Foreign Policies and Diplomacies in Asia

Changes in Practice, Concepts, and Thinking in a Rising Region

The observation of a rising Asia and its rapidly growing economic powerhouses has become a truism. These impressive economic develop-ment stories provide the backbone for the growing political assertiveness in the region. Asia’s economic prowess is rapidly being transferred onto the diplomatic stage. In the light of these larger developments, the authors of this timely volume investigate the regional and international implications of a rising Asia and problematise critical developments. The f irst section focuses on the lack of a proper regional security community in Asia. The second part analyses the usefulness of ‘Asia’ as a catch-all for very distinct sub-regions. While not denying the utility of the concept of Asia as one region, the authors support the need to maintain in parallel a clear focus on issues, approaches, and characteristics that are unique to sub-regions within the continent. A third group of authors probe the regional foreign policies of key players in the region, exploring the security strategies and diplomacies of major regional actors.

Work and Care under PressureCare Arrangements across Europe

European states representing different welfare regimes are experiencing tensions between changes in the labour market and the caring responsi-bilities of the households. This book contributes to the analysis of these tensions by focusing on carers “under pressure”, who have to juggle work and caring responsibilities. The authors investigate care arrangements set up by working parents of young children and of adults who hold a job while caring for their elderly relatives. Drawing on evidence from six European countries, they combine policy and family levels of analysis. This timely investigation of the

generations of men and women who take care of young children or/and elderly relatives while earning a living, is an essential resource for researchers, scholars and policymakers.

Early School Leaving & Youth UnemploymentEarly school leaving and youth unem-ployment are top of the social and political agendas throughout Europe. More and more observers fear a ‘lost generation’ of young people who, by the combined effects of educational failure and chronic unemployment brought on by the continuing economic crisis, see their chances for a fulf illing and productive life seriously diminished. This important work draws on research of the P&V Foundation, a Brussels-based body dedicated to combatting

early school leaving and protracted youth unemployment. The authors come from a range of academic backgrounds such as sociology, economics, education and labour market studies.

Care Arrangements across Europe

A U P

European welfare states are experiencing tensions between labour market constraints and caring responsibilities of families. This book analyses these tensions by focusing on carers ‘under pressure’. It investigates the care arrangements set up by bi-active parents of young children and of employed adult children caring for their old parent(s). Based on studies in six European countries, Work and Care under Pressure: Care Arrangements across Europe combines the analysis of social policies and daily family life. It questions policies in childcare, elderly care and work-life balance, and highlights the carers’ practices and their impact on everyday life. By investigating different generations of men and women who take care of young children or/and an elderly parent, this book is an essential resource for all researchers, scholars and policy makers interested in social policies and care policies.

Dynamics of Religion in Southeast AsiaDrawing on recent ethnographic research in Southeast Asia, the authors demonstrate how religious concepts contribute to meeting the challenges of modernity. Modernity is surrounded by an almost magic aura that casts a spell over people all over the world. In fourteen chapters, the authors demonstrate how religious concepts and magic practices contribute to meeting the challenges of modernity. Against this background, religion and modernity are no longer perceived as in contradiction: rather, it is argued that a revision of the western notion of

religion is required to understand the complexity of ‘multiple modernities’ in a globalised world.

Yolande Jansen

Secularism, Assimilation and the Crisis of Multiculturalism

French Modernist Legacies

This remarkable study develops a theoretical critique of contemporary discourses on secularism and assimilation, arguing that the perspec-tive of assimilating distinct religious minorities by incorporating them into a secular and supposedly neutral public sphere may be self-subverting. To flesh out this insight, Jansen draws on the paradoxes of assimilation as experienced by the French Jews in the late 19th century through a contex-tualised reading of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. She proposes a dynamic, critical multiculturalism as an

alternative to discourses focusing on secularism, assimilation and integration.

Yolande Jansen is Socrates Professor of

Humanism at the VU University Amsterdam.

Jansen’s brilliant and insightful analysis draws on a variety of fields and lucidly shows how the crisis is a crisis in modernity. Subtly weaving Proust into the argument, she brings a dry subject to life. Brian Klug

The Syntax of Dutch will be published in at least seven volumes in the period 2012-2016 and aims at presenting a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of dutch. It is primarily concerned with language description and not with linguistic theory, and provides support to all researchers interested in matters relating to the syntax of dutch, including advanced students of language and linguistics.

The volume Adjectives and Adjective Phrases discusses the internal make-up as well as the distribution of adjective phrases. topics that will be covered include: complementation and modification of adjective phrases; comparative and superlative formation; the attributive, predicative and adverbial uses of adjective phrases. Special attention is paid to the so-called partitive genitive construction and the adverbial use of past/passive participles and infinitives.

Hans Broekhuis is a researcher at the meertens Institute in Amsterdam.

“This project is, by all measures, an extraordinary one, both in conception and execution. to a remarkable degree the Syntax of Dutch project manages to harmonize demands of depth and breadth. In part this appears to be due to the highly systematic approach followed. I believe the Syntax of dutch project will ultimately become a model for comprehensive grammatical description in the years ahead.”Richard Larson, Professor of Linguistics at University of Stony Brook

AUDIENCES engages with one of the most important shifts in recent fi lm studies: the turn away from text-based analysis towards the viewer. Historically, this marks a return to the early interest of sociologists and psychologists, which was overtaken by concern with the “effects” of fi lm, linked to calls for censorship rather than to understanding the mental and behavioral world of the spectator. Early cinema history has revealed the diversity of fi lm-viewing habits, while traditional mass market box offi ce analysis has given way to more sophisticated economic and sociological analysis of attendance data. And as the fi lm experience fragments across multiple formats, the perceptual and cognitive experience of the individual viewer (who is also an auditor) becomes increasingly accessible. This book spans the spectrum of contemporary audience studies, revealing work being done on local, non-theatrical and live digital transmission audiences, and on the relative attraction of large-scale, domestic and mobile platforms.

The Key Debates is a fi lm series from Amsterdam University Press. The series’ ambition is to uncover the processes of appropriation and diffusion of key concepts that have shaped Film Studies. The series editors are: Ian Christie, Dominique Chateau, and Annie van den Oever.

A book on the spectator, today, is a challenge – if not a provocation. Cinema is relocating on new devices and in new environments: in its migration, it asks us to change our habits and our attitudes. Are we still spectators – or are we users, surfers, nostalgic buffs, technology experts, hackers and face-book friends? This book provides a deep insight in such a contro-versial situation, both at the theoretical and empirical level – retracing a history and facing a destiny.Francesco Casetti – Yale University

In de negentiende eeuw was Museum Vrolikianum een begrip onder artsen en wetenschap-pers uit binnen- en buitenland. Op bezoek in Amsterdam kwamen ze zich maar al te graag vergapen aan de vijfduizend preparaten; een verzameling die reikte van curieuze mis-geboorten tot de skeletten en schedels van gezonde en zieke mensen en van allerhande vreemde en minder vreemde dieren.

Door de foto’s van Hans van den Bogaard kan het moeilijk anders of ook de onderhavige uitgave zal aan de belangstelling bijdragen.

Verzamelaars van Vorm geeft een rijk geïllustreerd beeld van de Amsterdamse anatomische verzameltraditie, zoomt in op de lange geschiedenis van het museum en belicht de weten-schappelijke en culturele waarde van de verzameling. Want een collectie als die van Museum Vrolik mag werkelijk gezien worden.

This textbook offers an advanced introduction to international migration studies from theoretical and empirical perspectives. Its main focus is on European experiences, thus filling a longstanding gap in this field. Unlike people, theories and concepts do not travel easily, meaning we cannot take for granted that research results are equally applicable on all continents. The first volume of the imiscoe (International Migration and Social Cohesion Research Network) Textbook Series answered the pressing need for a European perspective on migration. This 15-chapter second volume presents central topics in an accessible textbook format.

Marco Martiniello is research director of the National Fund for Scientific Research (frs-fnrs) in Belgium and a professor of sociology and politics at the University of Liège, where he also serves as director of the Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies (cedem). Jan Rath is a professor of urban sociology at the University of Amsterdam and associated with the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies (imes) and the Center for Urban Studies at that university.

“Anchored in the European experience of post-war migration, but with essays that extend far beyond, readers will benefit from up-to-date and reflective works on the key topics in the field.”

Robin Cohen, University of Oxford

“The imiscoe network includes many of the world’s foremost immigration scholars. The crème de la crème of them have contributed to this extraordinarily valuable book, which I

will be assigning to my students for years to come.”Mark J. Miller, University of Delaware and author of The Age of Migration

“A superb introduction to international migration studies. This well-designed collection of essays by first-rate scholars ... provides the most up-to-date review of migration theories and

of major types of moves.”Joaquín Arango, Complutense University of Madrid
