But there is no Little Holland in New York City, no Dutchtown in San Francisco, no Netherlands Village in Toronto. So where are all those Dutch North-Americans?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMostly they have integrated neatly into their new homelands. But they have left traces. You just have to know where to look. In this selection of essays and columns, previously published in DUTCH the magazine, Tom Bijvoet explores aspects of Dutch immigration to North America. He delves into his own experiences as a recent immigrant, visits 'Dutch towns' such as Kinderhook, New York and Lynden, Washington and highlights the lives of notable, but not necessarily well-known, Dutch North-Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollectively his essays give an interesting flavor of what it means to be Dutch in North-America and where to look for the telltale signs of a Dutch presence, individually they make for fascinating explorations into a hidden world of Dutchness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5848590\"\u003eTom Bijvoet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mokeham Publishing Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781777439699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1777439698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC007000\"\u003eEmigration \u0026amp; Immigration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS029000\"\u003eNorth American\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS010020\"\u003eWestern Europe | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mokeham Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44545256784109,"sku":"9781777439699","price":39.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_0d28e03c-8da3-44b9-859d-2e163adb905d.jpg?v=1701571742","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/hiding-in-plain-sight-reflections-on-the-dutch-presence-in-canada-and-the-usa-1609-to-today-9781777439699","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
