[Ethnic residential patterns in Dutch cities: class, race, or culture?]

Settlement patterns of immigrants from Suriname, Turkey, and Morocco living in the Netherlands between 1970 and 1982 are described. The author "explores to what extent general theories about ethnic residential differentiation are corroborated by the ethnic patterns in Dutch cities. On the basis of the literature four 'theories' of ethnic residential differentiation are formulated. It is pointed out that three of these four 'theories' contribute to our understanding of the existing ethnic patterns in Dutch cities, though they certainly do not fit perfectly." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
