Immigrants in the Sexual Revolution: Perceptions and Participation in Northwest Europe: Genders and Sexualities in History

Autor Andrew DJ Shield
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 sep 2017
This book focuses on the latter half of the twentieth century, when much of northwest Europe grew increasingly multicultural with the arrival of foreign workers and (post-)colonial migrants, whilst simultaneously experiencing a boom in feminist and sexual liberation activism. Using multilingual newspapers, foreign worker organizations’ archives, and interviews, this book shows that immigrants in the Netherlands and Denmark held a variety of viewpoints about European gender and sexual cultures. Some immigrants felt solidarity with, and even participated in, European social movements that changed norms and laws in favor of women’s equality, gay and lesbian rights, and sexual liberation. These histories challenge today’s politicians and journalists who strategically link immigration to sexual conservatism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

‘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
