Description
This writer, Chukwudi A. Anene, in this literary non-fiction EXPERIENCING the Realities of EUROPE: The Netherlands, No(n-)Immigration Country! delves into Cee's fifteen-year experiences and observations in the Netherlands. Cee, an African asylum-seeker-turned-immigrant and upwards a citizen in the country that for a sizable part lies below sea level; inhabited by some of the wonderful Germanic peoples, the ingenious Dutch.
Arriving in the Netherlands as an asylum seeker, Cee sees also an opportunity toward pursuing his academic dream; developing high levels of interests in ways that are capable of advancing his vision of a knowledge-based future. Starting from studying the language and culture of the land. Alas, hamstrung by prevailing policies. Cee would, in the process, witness a flurry of activity and the defining times in the Dutch immigration and asylum policies, noting down vital information and the relevant policies' taking of shape in the Hague every step of the way as they affect both him personally, emotionally and asylum seekers collectively. In the tiny but great country concerned. Plus the larger immigrant communities in the land. The longest debate in Dutch parliamentary history unfolds. The defining times as not just restricted to the above-stated policies plus laws, but also as these bring themselves to bear on the country itself: socioeconomic, political, juridical, plus also on Cee rather psychologically. The latter underlies Cee's story, as he concurrently hadn't 'skipped a single rank' in the asylum processes as mapped out by Dutch authorities toward obtaining the country's papers.
As he got over the several hurdles involved, Cee wouldn't skip any important events in the country, either. Focusing not just on personal encounters but more on other experiences as would relate to a, albeit dared, narrative non‑fiction that passes for a good read and an added value to books on the Netherlands, arguably – insightful sociologically and politically. Written from an immigrant's perspective.
Plus a chapter over noteworthy KNMI Dutch weather records.
