Hyphen-Nation: American Perspectives on Diversity

5 February 2010

Location: Stadsschouwburg, Leidseplein 26 Amsterdam

Immigration and diversity are the biggest, hottest, most painful issues in the Netherlands. America is the land of diversity. What’s the secret to America’s approach? It’s a tiny thing: the hyphen (streepje). Everyone in the U.S. has a dual identity: Mexican-American, Italian-American, African-American… America tells newcomers: “Become American, join us…but don’t lose your origins.” It has taken a few hundred years, and it has plenty of flaws, but American diversity works. The purpose of this special, all-day event, organized by the John Adams Institute with the sponsorship of the Dutch Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Embassy in The Hague, is to pose this question: Can the American diversity format work in the Netherlands?

Part 1

1pm to 7.45pm
