.Amsterdam, World Book Capital 2008
Amsterdam is famous for free speech. For centuries, its citizens have
refused the yoke of censorship. This is still the case now, in the
years following the murder of film-maker Theo van Gogh in 2004. Books,
writers and freedom of expression are especially in the limelight this
year, because UNESCO has named Amsterdam World Book Capital 2008.
World Book Capital logoDutch writer Nelleke Noordervliet has written A
City for Books to celebrate the event. She explains:
"Amsterdam provides a refuge for writers who in their own countries
are denied the freedom necessary to work. Here, they have the
opportunity to work in peace and liberty. It's always been like that:
it's part of Amsterdam's history," she says. "This tradition of
freedom dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, through the 18th
century, when French philosophers were published here, to the 20th
century, when Amsterdam was the base for exiled writers from Germany."
