Historian Louis Hartz once proposed the thesis that those societies that were established as European colonies tended to reflect the characteristics of their home countries at the time of their founding and that theses characteristics were likely to remain even as colony and mother country went their separate ways. In this book, Wiarda (international relations, U. of Georgia) combines travelogue and research in testing that thesis, describing his travels around the global Dutch diaspora. He discusses his own youth growing up in a Dutch Reformed community in Michigan and his trips to The Netherlands, Brazil, Suriname, East Asia, South Africa. He also touches upon the Calvinist influence in Geneva and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
