A ‘Sunny Destination’ For Minority Groups? Dutch Emigration 1945–1965
The years 1945–1965 form a key period in the history of migration governance because the role of states increased, and ngo s (non-governmental organisations), igo s (intergovernmental organisations) and the media became more involved in migration governance. In this period, the Dutch authorities strongly stimulated emigration. In this article, we focus on three groups of people whose emigration plans met with obstacles: Jews, Dutch people of colo…
Sexuality and Asylum
The Netherlands was the first country in the world to offer refugee status to people persecuted on the basis of their sexual orientation. In this article we show that Dutch conversations on asylum on the basis of sexual orientation, while ground-breaking on paper, had little practical effect. We analyse three key achievements in the Dutch history of lgbtqi + asylum: a 1980 parliamentary motion, a 1981 Council of State ruling, and a 1986 policy me…
I Want to Marry Her, But I Won’t’
In July 2023, the Dutch coalition government collapsed over the issue of family immigration policies. The coalition partners disagreed on how to restrict the immigration of family members. It was not the first time the Dutch government sought to introduce restrictions. An earlier attempt in 1984 resulted in a large protest against a Dutch government measure, which restricted the possibilities for young people with a migratory background to marry …
Superdiversity from a Historical Perspective
In general, historians are skeptical when new terms are introduced, asking whether the term and what it seeks to describe are really new. Over time, researchers have introduced new terms to describe the diversities and complexities they observe. And they have often observed that what they experienced was new, and of unprecedented and ever-increasing speed, scale, and scope. That observation is in some measure true, but it does not mean there are …
Migration Histories
It is impossible to cover the history of global migrations in one chapter. The literature on global migration has increased rapidly since the 1980s. This increase is more-or-less in line with the increase in publications on migration control and migration management. The number of publications about global migration history is much less. This chapter will and cannot not cover the global migrations in the past 2000 years, but rather it will look c…
Parenting, citizenship and belonging in Dutch adoption debates 1900-1995
This article tests the use of the concepts ‘politics of belonging’ and ‘intimate citizenship’ for explaining (dis)continuities in intercountry adoption. It focusses on the Netherlands in the period 1900–1995. Adopters, adoption agencies and authorities in the countries of origin and settlement were the main actors. This article shows that adopters were claiming a right to a family, receiving states were granting or withholding rights, and adoptio…
Rats, Rooms and Riots
Immigrant access to space depended on the activities of local authorities, claim makers, journalists and firms. Together they shaped policies regarding immigrant housing, and more indirectly community formation. Local actors played a key role in migration governance, although they mostly did not work together. This article focusses on the Dutch town Utrecht, where housing was a major issue and immigrant housing was considered to be the worst in t…
Charter flights full of homosexuals'. The Changing Rights of Homosexual Immigrants in The Netherlands, 1945-1992
This article seeks to explain changes in Dutch policies regarding the rights of homosexual immigrants. In the period 1945-1992 policies changed fundamentally. As this article will show, existing theories do not fully explain why policies regarding homosexual foreigners changed. The most striking aspect of the policy changes was the casualness with which decision were taken, and the long time that passed before the consequences of decisions sank i…
Feminationalisme en hoe vrouwen belangrijk worden in het maatschappelijk debat over migratie en integratie
Women’s organizations fighting for rights for immigrant women emphasized the suppression of women within Islam. There was little attention to the labour market position of immigrant women, and a lot of attention to violence and lack of rights. Debates feminized and Islamitized at the same time. Arguments used by organizations fighting for immigrant women’s rights were appropriated by right-wing populist parties. This is called femi-nationalism. R…
NGOs and West European Migration Governance (1860s until Present)
Social and political scientists are involved in an extensive but inconclusive debate about the role of international nongovernmental organisations ( NGOs ) in European migration governance. The European Union (EU) and NGOs work under the assumption that NGOs are crucial to migration governance and yet the role of NGOs is not clear. The EU has invested time and money in its attempts to involve NGOs more actively in migration governance, but it doe…
Displaced persons, returnees and ‘unsuitables’
After the Second World War, Dutch authorities allowed 8,000 displaced persons (DPs) to come to the Netherlands, but only 3,904 came, and 25 per cent of them returned to camp life in Germany. This article seeks to explain why debates on the DP issue changed so rapidly within a short period of time. In earlier publications, it has been claimed that ‘selling’ DPs as workers helped to solve the DP issue. This strategy did not work for the Netherlands…
The Influence of the Media on Policies in Practice
This article analyses newspaper coverage, government policies and policy practices during the 1956 Hungarian refugee crisis. There were surprisingly few differences between newspapers in the coverage of this refugee migration, and few changes over time. The role of the press was largely supportive of government policies, although the press did criticise the selection of refugees. According to official government guidelines, officials should not h…
Chain Migration (Network Migration)
Chain migration is a common phenomenon. Chain migration is influenced by policies of the country of origin and settlement (for instance policies regarding the definition of who is “family,” or the policy of setting an income bar). The possibility of helping others migrate and the likelihood of chain migration change over time and differ according to class, gender, marital status, and legal status.

The Deportation of Germans from the Netherlands 1946–1952
Between 1946 and 1948 Dutch authorities planned to deport all 25,000 Germans from the Netherlands. This article is based on an analysis of parliamentary debates and newspaper reports. It offers a new explanation for why these deportations were stopped. A concerted effort from the press, clergy and charitable organisations provided arguments to change policies, however the Minister of Justice did not defend changes in policy by copying any of thes…
Public Debate and Policy-making on Family Migration in the Netherlands, 1960-1995
Is ‘public opinion’ systematically opposed to immigration? And has this pushed policymakers to implement restrictive migration policies? To answer these questions, we investigate the impact of public opinion, as expressed in media debates, on the making of family migration policies in the Netherlands. Based on newspaper articles, parliamentary documents and ministerial archives, we analysed three debates on family migration from the 1960s, the 19…

Gender, Migration and Categorisation
All people are equal, according to Thomas Jefferson, but all migrants are not. In this volume, twelve eminent scholars describe and analyse how in countries such as France, the United States, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark distinctions were made through history between migrants and how these were justified in policies and public debates. The chapters form a triptych, addressing in three clusters the problematisation …
Introduction
When migrant status and citizenship are defined by means of state categories, the language of inclusion and exclusion is key to an understanding of their contemporary shape and historical transformation. This introductory article provides an overview of some of the most relevant concepts in the discourse analysis of in- and exclusion, specifically with a view to the functioning of nation-state categories. It discusses forms of discursive problema…

Throughout this period differences were made between migrant women and migrant men. Whereas the migration of men was associated with labour migration, the migration of women was equated with family migration. Migrant women were constructed as wives and mothers (and not as workers). This construction of women was combin…
Illegal Migration and Gender in a Global and Historical Perspective
Twee onderwerpen staan centraal in het hedendaagse debat over migratie: illegale migratie en de verschillen tussen mannen en vrouwen binnen migratie. In dit boek worden deze gecombineerd en wordt illegaliteit van migranten verklaard vanuit een genderperspectief. Dit onderzoek maakt duidelijk welke definities van burgerschap er worden gebruikt en hoe mechanismen van in- en uitsluiting voor mannen en vrouwen kunnen werken. Dit onderzoek benadert de…
Immigrant Organisations
Migration scholars are increasingly realising the importance of immigrant organisations. Such organisations are not only important for the immigrants themselves, but also for their participation and integration into the host society. Immigrants set up organisations to create, express and maintain a collective identity. By studying organisations we gather valuable information about the settlement process of immigrants. We can thus see what differe…

Niches, Labour Market Segregation, Ethnicity and Gender
The topic of this JEMS special issue is how the formation of ethnic niches is gendered. We combine theories on niching with those on gendered labour market segregation and show that there are similarities in the underlying processes and explanations. The interaction between niching and gendered labour market segregation takes place at four points. In the first place, entrepreneurship is less of an option for immigrant women than it is for immigra…

Spatial concentrations and communities of immigrants in the Netherlands, 1800–1900
Spatial concentrations of immigrants are commonly regarded as a measure for integration of migrants into the host society. The underlying assumption is that concentrations can be equated with communities. By looking at concentrations in Utrecht both over a long period of time (a century) and at the level of individual immigrants we show that the concentrations remained in the same locality but showed a high turnover amongst their inhabitants, and…
The demographic consequences of changing employment opportunities
In the nineteenth century, the demographic development of the Meierij, a region in the south-east of the Netherlands, was different from that of the rest of modernizing northern Europe. Infant mortality remained high, while it dropped elsewhere. The article shows why the current explanation for high infant mortality, which links a sustained high infant mortality to a change in feeding habits is not valid. Increased fertility due, among other reas…

A Separate Language, a Separate Identity? Organisations of Frisian Migrants in Amsterdam in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
In this article we look at people who migrated from the Dutch province of Friesland to the Dutch capital, Amsterdam. We examine developments within Friesland itself at the time of migration. This case-study offers a unique opportunity to relate developments in the sending society (Friesland) to the nature of organisations in the receiving society (Amsterdam). Many similarities have been noted between internal migration and international migration…
Living together, working together
German immigrants who came to the Netherlands in the nineteenth century did not concentrate in ‘Little Germanys’ within Dutch towns, as they did in some other countries. Some concentrations amongst German immigrants can, however, be pointed out. Contrary to what perhaps might be expected, it was not a common religion or a shared regional background that explains these concentrations. A shared profession does explain some, but only if the nature o…

Labour Relations in the Dutch Margarine Industry 1870-1954
A number of new industries were born at the end of the last century, in a manner resembling Aphrodite's rising from the sea. These industries are characterized by an abrupt start, in contrast with other industries that evolved from a traditional craft to a modern industry along an elaborate route of inventions and innovations. Each of these new industries began after one invention, that was so important for the industry concerned that it changed …

Immigrant business and niche formation in historical perspective
This article presents an historical perspective on niche formation amongst migrants. Four case studies show four quite different routes niche formation can take. The routes depend on the characteristics of the niche and of the host society. Contrary to current ideas there was no evidence of groups of migrants moving from one niche to the next. Neither were niches vacated by a group of migrants lled by more recent arrivals. Most importantly niches…

Is there life outside the migrant network? German immigrants in XIXth century Netherlands and the need for a more balanced migration typology
À Rotterdam et Utrecht au xixe siècle, comme à Londres ou New York, les Allemands forment un groupe hétérogène. Pour autant, entre ces deux villes hollandaises, il est possible de dégager des nuances notables. Certes les possibilités différentes offertes par chacune des cités attirent des types logiquement différents d'immigrants allemands, du point de vue du sexe, des origines et des professions. Mais le plus frappant est l'opposition entre les …

‘Whenever a Dozen Germans Meet ...’ German Organisations in the Netherlands in the Nineteenth Century
In this article I describe German immigrants’ organisations in Utrecht in the nineteenth century; the aim is to show how organisations change under the influence of developments in the sending and the receiving societies. German immigrant organisations were relatively open, easily accessible for non-Germans. There was a multitude of organisations with little coherence. The lack of unity within the German immigrant community reflected the absence …
