For the last 20 years questions of immigration and identity have been at the heart of our politics, yet we have made almost no progress. Why is Özdil not a Dutch name? How did the Netherlands become more ethnically segregated than America? Why are riots in the Schilderswijk an integration problem, but riots in Urk not? To answer these questions, we’ve invited Zihni Özdil, historian, columnist and former member of parliament for GroenLinks. Yet unlike most of his left-leaning compatriots, Özdil believes that we should do away with the old multicultural consensus in favour of “inclusive” nationalism.Together with him, we will explore the struggle for acceptance and belonging among those of migrant origin, the historic roots of the Dutch migration story and how we can achieve a truly inclusive national identity.
