Reviews
“Dr. Newton’s edited volume on Luxembourg provides unique insights into the politics, language and national psyche of a nation which, while being firmly placed at the centre of the European Union, none the less is greatly concerned that its own identity should not be lost amid the presence of so many foreign nationals. In addition to examining the role of Luxembourg within EU politics, this book investigates the expanding use of the national language, Lëtzebuergesch, and the adherence to national attitudes, traditions, and intellectual life which are so characteristic of the country. As such it provides a welcome expansion to the little that is available to the English-speaking world on the subject of Luxembourg.” – J. M Ritchie
