	Jorwert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The church tower collapsed in 1951, but has since been rebuilt; the action to raise funds for the restoration included an open air play, which is still held every summer in the garden of the local notary.
		Dutch writer Geert Mak used Jorwert as the hook for his book Jorwerd: The Death of the Village in late 20th Century Europe (ISBN 1860468039) - though the Dutch title Hoe God verdween uit Jorwerd translates as How God disappeared from Jorwerd.
		Mak describes the changes that have affected the village over the last century, and writes eloquently about the people and their experiences.

	Geert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		‘Geert’ is a Dutch forename of Germanic origin, equivalent to German Gert and English Gerry.
		While speakers of most northern varieties of Dutch, which do not distinguish between the two phonemes, will pronounce the name as /xeːrt/, speakers of southern varieties will generally pronounce it as /ɣeːrt/.
		While 'Geert' can be used as a name in its own right, it is often the 'roepnaam'* for persons who are formally called Gerard or Gerardus.

		And Geert Mak himself experienced the freedom and follies of the 1960s, which he describes with gentle criticism and self-mockery.
		And yet, Mak conveys to the modern reader what these people were aiming at with their passionate convictions, much as he also brings home to us many social and political ideas we have long ceased to share.
		Geert Mak owes his historical acumen to his wide reading and to his great gift of being able to enliven history with touches of his own.

	Harvard University Press: Amsterdam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		In this gracefully written examination of Amsterdam's soul--part history, part travel guide--the Dutch writer Geert Mak imaginatively depicts the lives of early Amsterdammers and traces the city's progress from a small town of merchants, sailors, farmers, and fishermen to a thriving metropolis.
		Mak's Amsterdam is a city of dreams and nightmares, of grand civic architecture and magnificent monuments, but also of civil wars, uprisings, and bloody religious purges.
		Geert Mak is one of the most prominent journalists in the Netherlands.

		Geert Mak, one of Holland's leading journalists, here takes the reader on a riveting topographical journey in a book that is both social history and travel guide.
		Mak has an all-seeing eye and the best kind of journalistic style; he is always interested in the human angle of things, the smaller truths.
		He misses nothing; every detail attracts his attention and his imagination, from a medieval shoe rescued from the estuarial mud to the graffiti on the side of a grand house, said to have been applied by a deranged merchant in his own blood, prophesying the city's doom.

		This is why the murder of one Dutch filmmaker 911 days after 9/11 is described by people in Holland as having had the same effect on their country as the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 in the World Trade Center towers.
		Part of it is the size and the speed of the recent non-European immigration.
		In the world of Geert Mak's father, Catholics not only went to their own churches but also had their own schools, newspapers, trade unions, social clubs, and the like.

		In early December, an appeals court in the Hague confirmed the punishment of Farid A. of Schiedam.
		Dutch people have the sense that, for the first time in centuries, the thread that connects them to the world of Geert Mak's father, and that world to the world of Erasmus and Spinoza and Rembrandt and William the Silent, is in danger of being snipped.

		Mak is very good at choosing periods from the life of the city to highlight and also choosing the anecdotes that make them real.
		Whether his focus is on the portrait of Gerrit Janszoon Peggedochter, or the reaction of modern Amsterdammers to the marriage of (then Princess, now Queen) Beatrix, the stories are always fascinating.
		From the first settlements at the edge of the wetlands to its zenith as the world's foremost trading power to modern times, author Mak makes the history come alive by focusing on individuals as well as the average Amsterdamer.

	God Has Left Friesland Book at Shop Ireland
		I have to declare firstly that I spent most of my childhood in the village at the centre of this book; it was pretty much as Mak describes.
		The book shows what happens to traditional ways of living when the foundations for that lifestyle change - small shops are outcompeted by the big superstores, working villages turn into commuter-belt dormitories, communities are split over the impact of change.
		When much of that change affects the economic underpinning of the community (in the case of Jorwerd, dairy farming), the whole fabric changes, and Mak describes this both at a personal level and in terms of how the village in general changes.

		They argued that by pandering to Dutch prejudices and putting Muslims on the defensive, she contributes to the very Islamic radicalization she claims to want to stop.
		The politician Geert Wilders was perhaps the most inflammatory.
		She suspects that what the Dutch really fear is not Islamic fundamentalism but the prospect of having to deal with a new generation of highly educated young Muslims who demand a fair hearing for their values.

		My mother, who is nearly 80, had just read a book called ‘The century of my father’ written by a well known Dutch critical social observer, Geert Mak.
		Geert Mak is, in my mother’s mind, unduly critical of the Dutch in letting and in part aiding the exportation and thus murder of so many Dutch Jewish people.
		For her, her friends-, family-, and future husband (my father) had been involved in the underground movement and so for her (too optimistically) most Dutch had been.

		There is no Muslim-Dutch culture war, there is only creatures like Geert Mak committing genocide against his own people.
		The bottom line is that Mak's policies and beliefs will lead to the destruction of the Dutch people, culture and nation as surely as Poland would have been destroyed had the Nazis won the war.
		In fact, Holland would be far better off being controlled by Nazi Germany than by people like Geert Mak, as far as I know the Nazis had no plan to exterminate the Dutch.

		Furthermore, they will generally use their school system to ensure that future generations don't ask too many unpleasant questions.
		But my experience at Anne Frank House and the Resistance Museum was much modified by reading Mak in advance of those visits.
		While I had always had a sneaking suspicion all was not right with the focus on Anne Frank (her family just seemed too well-off to be very representative), I must admit to complete shock at discovering the true scope of the horrors of Amsterdam's response to German occupation.

		But the Dutch language and culture are quite similar to neighboring English and German languages and cultures, and it is not necessarily logical to assume that the same assimilation process that worked in the past for fellow Europeans will work for such huge numbers of foreigners, especially immigrants from rural areas of Morroco and Turkey.
		That is what Geert Mak (is he himself a long-assimilated Brit named Mac-something?) spends a great deal of time calmly and carefully discussing.
		I think this book is well-worth reading just for the last chapter alone.
