Dutch immigrants in New Zealand: some adjustment problems, and some variables in the adjustment process.
Six years ago there were a few hundred Dutch people in New Zealand; some of these had come from Indonesia where the Dutch were being driven out, some of these had been here since the beginning of the war, and some had come from Holland since the war. These were the first trickle of a big migration wave which in the next 5 years increased the number of Dutch immigrants in New Zealand to 13,000. Now Dutch people are found all over the country, in the backblocks and in the cities, and in a great variety of jobs. They came from overcrowded Holland in response to the campaign for Dutch immigrants for underpopulated New Zealand.
These immigrants, or more precisely, these immigrants in the context of such of their psychological problems as derive from the fact of their being immigrants, form the subject of this study
'Le sport vers le féminisme' : l'engagement du milieu athlétique féminin français au temps de la FSFSF (1917-1936)
Mixed marriages have always had an ambiguous and often problematic relationship with the law. On one hand, mixed marriages have been seen as a key indicator of sociocultural integration into mainstream society. In terms of the law, this perception has been expressed, for example, as privileged access to citizenship status for immigrant family members of citizens. On the other hand, mixed marriages have been seen as a threat to society and social cohesion. In this article, I argue that these contradictory perceptions of mixed relationships have informed the development of citizenship law over time. Building on literature on the regulation of mixed marriages in law, as well as gender and citizenship law, I use the Netherlands as a case study to demonstrate how citizenship law has been used as a tool to prevent certain types of "undesirable" mixed couples and how this approach has informed Dutch citizenship law until today
