Colin White & Laurie Boucke The UnDutchables 1995, EN, The Netherlands Nothing is more interesting than to see yourself through the eyes of an outsider. The UnDutchables is a very revealing treatise about us…This book in a very exact yet funny way discloses all the secrets about us that we really would have preferred to keep to ourselves. In other words, they hang out the dirty linen… The authors have clearly looked much farther than wooden shoes and tulips…Even the way we stir sugar in our coffee has not escaped their notice and not until you read this book from cover to cover do you understand how much our behavior, that we consider as completely normal ourselves, borders on insanity for a non-Netherlander. Everything in it is true, and only the humor with which it is written makes it at all palatable for us. A fine little work, then, that will be around for years.—Johannes van Dam, Het Parool, May 26, 1990 Table of contents (25) Preface: VERSION 3.1—the third edition(updated)… Foreword 1: INTRODUCTION the way the text books sell it 2: GETTING ACQUAINTED 4: A DUTCH HOME 5: A GROWING CONCERN 6: CHILDREN 7: CINEMA 8: MONEY—on gulden pond 9: UITKERING—the dutch work ethic 10: MET WIE?—identification& telephone habits 11: THE NATIONAL PASSION 13: DRIVING 14: ON DUTCH CUSTOMS 15: BIKES, DIKES, FLAGS & FAGS 16: THE DUTCH LANGUAGE 17: FOOD FOR THOUGHT—Culinary character 18: SEX ‘N DRUGS AND ROCK ‘N ROLL 19: THE FLYING DUTCHMAN—export models APPENDIX A: A View of the Dutch through the English Language APPENDIX B: A Chosen Selection of Dutch⁄English Homonyms About The Authors: Cotin White was born in Windsor, England.
