| Synopsis: |
The Dutch presence in North America has been best preserved in the two largest denominations, the Reformed Church and Christian Reformed Church. But outside these denominations seven more developed over time, of which some are hardly visible for outsiders, and also non-protestant groups tried to stay together. The eighteen essays in this volume describe the ways in which small groups of Dutch immigrants made efforts to maintain their identities in the United States and Canada between 1800 and 2000. Until now, many of those groups had never been objects of academic research. In the essays presented here, the Dutch, American, and Canadian authors zoom in on the connections of these groups with the Netherlands, with other Dutch-Americans, and other ethnic groups. All of them faced the issues of language and education. |
