From multiculturalism to super-diversity: thirty years of coexistence through the eyes of VOEM

The Association for Development and Emancipation of Muslims (VOEM) is celebrating its 30th anniversary (1989-2019). For this occasion, VOEM commissioned historian Tina De Gendt to write a book in collaboration with Amsab-ISG. The book will chronicle the experiences of the pioneers and volunteers amidst the significant events and trends that have shaped and changed the world in recent decades. Thus, VOEM is the first self-organized organization in Flanders to write its own history.
From its founding in 1989 to the present day, there has been a constant flux around the themes of migration, integration, and Islam. This story offers readers a unique glimpse into the incredibly diverse world of Muslims and their commitment to a harmonious, pluralistic, and inclusive Flanders.
