Rampant Nativism
This article addresses contemporary nativism in the Netherlands, precisely because it has been considered an unlikely place for the rise of such exclusionary politics given its reputation for progressiveness and tolerance. We dissect nativism into three different but interrelated subtypes characterized by different primary targets: religious nativism (Muslims), racial nativism (non-whites), and populist nativism (elites). We claim that nativism h…
In Search of Spirit: Nativism, Liberalism’s Failures, and the Way Through
Timothy Stacey, Josip Kešić, and Jan Willem Duyvendak on Saving Liberalism from Itself and The Return of the Native
The Return of the Native: Can Liberalism Safeguard Us Against Nativism?
What we are seeing at present is the return or, perhaps better stated, the dramatic increase in the deployment of the category native and, with this, an increasing hostility toward those who are considered non-native. Not only are well-rehearsed nativist discourses of class, race, and religion surfacing in the political mainstream but also, uniquely to this latest resurgence of nativism, liberal ideas and discourses themselves are being held up a…
Nativism and Nostalgia in the Netherlands 1
This article scrutinizes the employment of temporality in nativist discourse. Looking at nostalgia in the context of contemporary nativism reveals that the operative temporality is not limited to just the past. The perception of “threat,” central to nativism, does not only inform historical claims made by nostalgic nativists, but also refers to the present and to the future in which this threat is to be overcome. After defining nativism, the arti…
The nation under threat: Secularist, racial and populist nativism in the Netherlands
Right-wing discourses and issues of belonging and collective identity in Europe’s political and public spheres are often analysed in terms of Islamophobia, racism and populism. While acknowledging the value of these concepts, Kešić and Duyvendak argue that these discourses can be better understood through the logic of nativism. Their article opens with a conceptual clarification of nativism, which they define as an intense opposition to an intern…
Anti‐nationalist nationalism: The paradox of Dutch national identity
Academic research on contemporary Dutch nationalism has mainly focused on its overt, xenophobic and chauvinist manifestations, which have become normalised since the early 2000s. As a result, less radical, more nuanced versions of Dutch nationalism have been overlooked. This article attempts to fill this gap by drawing attention to a peculiar self‐image among Dutch progressive intellectuals we call anti‐nationalist nationalism. Whereas this self‐…
