Inside view of a Belgian over a book over Belgium September 8, 1997
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Despite some little mistake, this book is quite good book for people who are about to come to Belgium or ever went to Belgium. It describes different socio-professional classes in Belgium , riches and "poor", flemish and wallons, ... (but most are catholics). The main default of this book is that is looks to me quite "old-fashioned" because now, society has evoluted a lot and lots of things have changed since the first voyage of Renee C. Fox. In conclusion, if you're intersted in Belgium or in life in "traditionnal" european countries, you must read it.
