Summary:
"This collection of papers from the Twenty-Second Biennial Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Dutch American Studies, held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, June 2019, covers topics related to Dutch Reformed education and more." -- A. C. Van Raalte Institute website.
"This volume has its origin in the conference of the Association for the Advancement of Dutch American Studies (AADAS) that was held in mid-June 2019 on the campus of Calvin University (nee College) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This was the twenty-second biennial gathering of AADAS and marked its fortieth anniversary as a promoter of outstanding Dutch American scholarship. Most of the essays in this volume provide snapshots of the ongoing drive for a self-consciously Christian education that was embedded in the Dutch Reformed immigrant movement. These essays are happily complemented by chapters that reflect on the broader implications of the Dutch immigrant experience in other spheres of the educational enterprise. What make the volume particularly engaging are the multidisciplinary approaches that appear here. Along with a preponderance of historians, a scattering of cultural anthropologists, language and literature scholars, theologians, and even a photographer will make their appearance in the following pages. The rich variety of lenses that they bring to bear enlivens our imaginations and extends our understanding of the Dutch immigrant experience." -- Provided by publisher.
