In addition, obesity may impact on the quality of life of individuals through their experience of social bias and discrimination 2. These in turn may have consequences for educational and professional achievement 3,4 as well as potentially impacting on psychological wellbeing 5,6. 1 Chapter Globally, there is evidence that the prevalence of overweight and obesity is reaching epidemic proportions with an estimated 1 billion overweight and 300 million obese adults 7,8. In the Netherlands more than half of the general adult population is either overweight (51% of males, 42% of females) or obese (10% of males, 12% of females), with marked increases in the past 20 years 9. Internationally and in the Netherlands therefore, the treatment and prevention General Introduction of overweight and obesity have received increased attention 8,10. A high risk group for the development of overweight and obesity are non-Western migrants to Western societies. Among these groups the prevalence of excessive weight is often higher than among host populations 11,12. Non-western migrants form an increasing proportion of the populations of many Western countries 13, including the Netherlands where 11% of the population comprises non-western migrants and their children 14 (from this point on migrants and their children will be referred to collectively as migrants). Among this group a large proportion originates from Suriname, Turkey or Morocco, each of these represent approximately 2% of the total population of the Netherlands and, counted together, close to 60% of all non-western migrants 14. Many live in large cities, for example 35% of the inhabitants of Amsterdam are of non-western origin, migrants originating from Morocco and Suriname each form 9% and from Turkey 5% of all residents 15.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in these population groups seems to be high. Data from studies in Amsterdam, table 1, shows that more than half of Surinamese, Turkish and Moroccan adults aged 35 years or older are either overweight or obese and that obesity, in particular, is a problem among women. 9 PROEFSCHRIF NICOLAOU.indb 9 2-12-2008 14:20:16 Figures originating from a nationally representative sample 17, shown in table 2 indicate that while ethnic differences in prevalence of overweight and obesity among men are less striking, migrant women are more often obese, compared to their ethnic Dutch peers. At a first glance it appears that overweight and obesity prevalence is higher among migrants living in Amsterdam, however it’s important to note the difference in age groups studied. Considering the increasing proportions of migrants in Western populations, public health efforts need to account for these groups 10 .

Source: Dagevos J and Dagevos H, 2008 17 Potential underlying causes of overweight and obesity The aetiology of overweight and obesity is complex, but at the most basic level, overweight is a result of behaviour that results in excessive energy intake or insufficient energy expenditure 8. Influences on behaviour include genetic, biological as well as environmental factors 18. Among migrant groups higher overweight and obesity prevalence can be partly attributed to genetic susceptibility 19,20. However, there is general consensus that genetic influences interact with environmental factors, and that the latter probably have a dominant influence on overweight development 8,21,22. Environmental influences on energy balance have been conceptualised by the ANGELO framework, (Analysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity) and include physical, economic, political and socio-cultural factors 22. These four influences can act at the macro level, i.e. the broader context, including amongst others, food production and distribution, transportation infrastructure, media and at the micro level, the local context which includes schools, work places, shops and neighbourhoods. This thesis focuses on two important determinants of overweight in four non-western migrant groups living in the Netherlands: Surinamese Hindustani and Creoles, Turks and Moroccans. Firstly, diet as one half of the energy balance equation and, secondly, the perception of overweight as an important underlying motivator for engaging in weight control. Three of the environmental influences as defined by the ANGELO framework are the basis of our studies; we focus on physical, economic and socio-cultural changes as they relate to migration. In the following paragraphs we discuss some of the current insights into the diet and body weight perception of migrants, as well as some potential determinants of these. The main aims 10 PROEFSCHRIF NICOLAOU.indb 10 2-12-2008 14:20:16 Box 1: Turkish, Moroccan and Surinamese immigrant populations Migration from Turkey and Morocco to the Netherlands was encouraged in the 1970’s in order to fill labour shortages, especially in the lower occupation classes. The initial migrants were male but within a few years they were joined by their families.

  • On the Linguistic Consequences of Language Contact in Suriname: the Case of Convergence
    CHAPTER 8 On the Linguistic Consequences of Language Contact in Suriname: The Case of Convergence Kofi Yakpo, Margot van den Berg and Robert Borges 1 Introduction Suriname is often represented as a stratified mosaic of cultures and languages. The layers correspond to cultures and languages that entered Suriname via multiple migratory movements in different time depths. With languages from two major indigenous Amerindian families, several Afro-Caribbean English Lexifier Creoles and further dialectal varieties of Indo-European languages belonging to the Germanic cluster (English, Dutch) and the Italic cluster (French, Portuguese), Suriname already boasted an extraordinary linguistic diversity by the end of the eighteenth century. The Dutch labour trade of the last decades of the nineteenth and the first decades of the twentieth century added additional layers of complexity to the picture. After the abolishment of slavery in 1863, indentured labourers from North-Eastern India, Java, and Southern China brought their languages with them, adding representatives of major linguistic families of the world, namely Indic (Sarnami), Austronesian (Javanese) and Sino-Tibetan (Hakka or Keija). In the decades since the inde- pendence of Suriname in 1975, patterns of (circular) migration between the main city and plantations and villages along the coast and in the interior of Suriname, as well as between Suriname and the Netherlands have emerged. More recently, a new wave of Chinese immigrants has resulted in a sizable Cantonese and Mandarin speaking community. Furthermore, communities of Brazilians and Haitians are being formed, supported by the gold sector and through domestic/agricultural work, respectively. This mosaic of cultures and languages is often commemorated as an example of respect and tolerance; dif- ferent ethnic and religious groups, each with their own unique cultural and linguistic characteristics, co-exist peacefully in a multicultural and multilin- gual society.

  • Garces-Mascarenas-Labour Migra WT-01.Indd
    BURUH MIGRASI IMISCOE ­-­ MIGRACIŌN LABORAL State regulation of labour migration is confronted with a double paradox. First, RESEARCH while markets require a policy of open borders to ful l demands for migrant workers, the boundaries of citizenship impose some degree of closure to the outside. Second, BURUH MIGRASI while the exclusivity of citizenship requires closed membership, civil and human rights undermine the state’s capacity to exclude foreigners once they are in the country. MIGRACIŌN LABORAL By considering how Malaysia and Spain have responded to the demand for foreign labour, this book analyses what may be identi ed as the trilemma between markets, Labour Migration MIGRACIŌN LABORAL citizenship and rights. For though their markets are similar, the two countries have di erent approaches to citizenship and rights. We must thus ask: how do such Labour Migration in Malaysia and Spain MIGRACIŌN LABORAL divergences a ect state responses to market demands? How, in turn, do state regulations in Malaysia and Spain impact labour migration ows? And what does this mean for contemporary migration BURUH MIGRASI overall?

[DOI: 10.1515/9783110436907-007] Janneke Diepeveen & Matthias Hüning The status of Dutch in post-colonial Suriname Abstract: Dutch is an official language not only in the Netherlands and Bel- gium, but also in Suriname, a country in South-America. Before its independ- ence, Suriname was a colony of the Netherlands, starting as early as 1667. After its independence in 1975, the multilingual Republic of Suriname main- tained Dutch as its official language, the language of education and public life. In this paper, we shall address two seemingly conflicting developments which take place in this former Dutch colony: on the one hand, the growing use of the creole language Sranantongo as a lingua franca across Suriname and on the other hand, the persistence of Dutch. We shall argue that the linguistic developments in Suriname must be understood against the background of a young nation which is constructing its own post-colonial national identity.
