Reviews
A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2011 'Houtman, Aupers and De Koster's book is a fine example of the new cultural sociology convincingly showing that culture is the decisive factor in understanding various phenomena, ranging from the role of the internet to the rise of populism. I have seldom come across a book so well written, so rich in its theoretical grounding and so insightful in its empirical accounts.' Jan Willem Duyvendak,'University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands 'With a variety of fresh Dutch evidence, this book shows how contemporary individualism both shapes everyday experience and causes new forms of exclusion and intolerance. Reporting original research on a contentious issue, it makes stimulating reading for anyone interested in a central modern myth and its very real consequences.' Frank Lechner, Emory University, USA
