Abstract
This chapter reflects on the influence of past migrations on the present in Amsterdam. It goes back to the first great wave of migration that took place in the seventeenth century, leading to an all-time high in the share of foreign born in the urban population. It then looks at the nineteenth century, when the situation seems to be completely reversed, with very low percentages of foreigners. The third part of the chapter is devoted to the second great wave, which started with the decolonization of Indonesia after World War II, and gathered speed in the 1970s with the concurrent mass immigration of colonial migrants from Suriname and family reunification among Turkish and Moroccan former guest workers. In all three cases, the characteristics of the migrants (e.g. religious background, numbers, and networks), the dynamics of the migration process, and the institutional reaction to the influx of newcomers at the city and national level are considered. A central question is the extent to which the most recent immigrations are similar to and different from past ones and why this is so. The answer to this question leads to a better assessment of the impact of the past on the present.
