Abstract
Among the cornucopia of issues facing the well-off countries of Western Europe, migration remains a particularly emotive subject that can rear up at any moment and polarise society and politics more quickly and deeply than many other questions. This was seen recently in the Netherlands, where the government is in crisis over attempts to slow the arrival of asylum seekers after it let the situation in the main reception centre deteriorate and one resident’s new born baby died. Despite this, among a significant part of the population anger at immigrants, and at the authorities that seemingly allow migration to continue, is unabated, leading to renewed calls, also from the Left, to gain better understanding of where this anger comes from.
