Blauwe Maandag documents the running battles between protestors and police during protests against the destruction of the old Nieumarkt area of Amsterdam in order to make way for a transport interchange. It takes its title from the blue uniform worn by the Dutch police.
the occasion for this publication was the demolition of the historical Nieuwmarket district in Amsterdam's city center to make an underground rail link with the new satellite city of the Bijlmermeer in south-east Amsterdam and the resistance to this development. Grimily printed photos with handwritten captions tell the story of the inevitable destruction of the Nieuwmarkt like a comic strip, now and then interspersed with newspaper clipping and drawings
