Join us for talk with Ben Coates about Why the Dutch are Different: Into the Hidden Heart of the Netherlands.
Ben Coates wrote a book about contemporary Dutch culture and the Netherlands. Ben was stranded at Schiphol airport on his way home from Cuba so called up a friendly Dutch girl he had met a few months earlier to take her out for dinner. He stayed over at her place. Actually, he stayed for good.Why the Dutch are Different is a personal account of a changing country and an adopted home. It takes us from Britain’s rocky relationship with the Netherlands through to Carnival, exactly why the colour orange is so important and the changing Dutch political atmosphere.
