Tackling the thorny subject of the integration of the Muslim and other ethnic minorities into their urban settings, the author surveys the public climate surrounding integration in two major Dutch cities, Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the 1990-2005, a time of major policy changes in the country. Drawing on the wide range of op-eds from the press of the period, he traces the significant differences in which the process was perceived in the two cities at the time, attributing the differences to the political climates of the two city councils.
