| Abstract | In this article we study the effect of ethnic neighbourhood composition on the identification of immigrants in the Netherlands with the (indigenous) Dutch. We test two opposing predictions: from contact theory we expect a positive effect of the share of indigenous in the neighbourhood on immigrants’ identification with the Dutch due to increased chances for mutual contact, whereas from social identity theory we expect a negative effect due to increased threat to minority culture. Our multilevel analyses of the survey ‘Sociale Positie en Voorzieningengebruik van Allochtonen 2002’ held among four minority groups (Turks, Moroccans, Antilleans, and Surinamese) show a positive effect of the share of indigenous in the neighbourhood on immigrants’ identification with the Dutch, an effect that remains after control for population composition. This contextual effect can partly be attributed to social contacts of immigrants with the indigenous Dutch. These findings support contact theory. |
