It will be discussed how Abdolah, being a migrant writer and newcomer in Dutch public debate, defines his mission, how he tries to win his readers’ trust and what kind of message he tries to convey concerning Dutch immigration policy and Dutch multicultural society.

The Poles quickly became the main focus of the site, which unofficially got labeled Meldpunt Polen (Complaints Website Poles). Being a political tactic of the PVV leader, Geert Wilders, the provocative website caused considerable commotion within the EU and was responsible for a wave of criticism pointed at the Dutch government. This article seeks to investigate the reactions to the website in the Polish press.

This article examines the novel’s autobiographical character as reflecting upon the identity-forming process of an emigrant.It especially focuses on narrative techniques used to depict the complexity of this process and on the role of the Other in creating one’s self-image. The second section of the article is devoted to the ethical dimension of a particular identity and the problem of reconciliation with oneself. The reading strategy applied to analyse this aspect of Abdolah’s novel takes the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur as presented in Soi-meme comme un autre as a central point of departure
