Koop}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The objective of the research is to find out what the meaning is of having Dutch ancestry for Dutch second and third generation Dutch in Australia. The aim is to find out the effect that radical assimilation of the first generation Dutch on their descendants had and to show the factors that determine the level of interest Dutch descendants in Australia express into their heritage. There is an implicit Dutch feeling among Dutch second and third generation in Australia that is subordinated to their Australian identity. They are modestly Dutch, but silently proud. The Dutch identity is less apparent for third generation than for second generation, the Dutch connection dilutes over time and when generations pass on.}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2800/} }
