    James Kennedy About This Week's Guest James Kennedy James Kennedy is a professor of modern Dutch history at the Universiteit Utrecht. As an American, he particularly focuses on the postwar history and the contours of contemporary Dutch society. "Culture Matters. Also for the Dutch!" Don't think you can do everything, because you can't. The Dutch are good friends for life, they can be very loyal and very good. The Dutch look very happy and individualistic, but underneath are family people. Pay attention to that.
