Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The question who are we? continues to perplex many Scots today. The 100 short essays in this book help to expand the debate and provide at least some of the answers. They offer an opportunity to penetrate behind the statistical surveys and explore the rich complexity of changing identity from a v…aried range of opinion.The collection includes the views of people at the centre of things as well as those at the margins of society, the famous as well as the not so well known, the authoritative and mainstream as well as the idiosyncratic. It also contains a few views from the outside, from North America, Europe and elsewhere.It examines the concept and experience of being Scottish at this time in history and assesses its relevance, strengths, advantages and weaknesses. It seeks to discover whether there is a special something which makes the Scottish distinctive and immediately recognisable and, if so, attempts to describe it. In short it is a snapshot of Scottish identity or, as seems to the case, the myriad Scottish identities that exist today.Contemporary events and developments in the British Isles and the world provide the general political and social context of this collection. These include: *The state of the Union*Devolution*The rise of English nationalism and the implications for Scotland*The debate about future British political and economic sovereignty and its relevance to Scotland*The lingering after-effects of the loss of Empire with its resultant crisis of identity for Scotland, a nation which played a key role in the imperial project*The new global world order based on the USA-declared war against terrorism in the aftermath of the events of 11 September 2001However the contributors succeed in going beyond the social and political context and explore above all what it means personally to be Scottish. The reader may be surprised at the insights contained in this book. Some contributors delve into their personal histories or t. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Light scuffing to edges of text block. Otherwise pages are clean and unmarked. Some black and white illustrations. [from back cover] The first book to strip away the myths and write the real history of Scotland's slavery past. Scotland has traditionally seen itself as a pioneering abolitionist nation untainted by slavery claims, but this is the first detailed attempt to challenge this belief. For more than a century and a half the story of Scotland's connections to transatlantic slavery has been lost to history and shrouded in myth and denial.Written by the foremost scholars in the field, and based on sustained archival research, the authors systematically peel away the mythology and radically revise the traditional picture. Topics include national amnesia and slavery, the impact of profits from slavery on Scotland, Scots in the Caribbean sugar islands, compensation paid to Scottish owners when slavery was abolished, domestic controversies on the slave trade, and the role of Scots in slave trading from English ports. Appealing not only to scholars and students, but to all readers interested in discovering an untold aspect of Scotland's past, this important and original collection contains many surprising and uncomfortable conclusions. It is a major contribution to Scottish history and to the history of slavery within the British Empire.

Paperback. Condition: New. Reissue. In the eighteenth century, Glasgow and its outports became the dominant force in the highly lucrative tobacco commerce from the Americas to Europe.This prize-winning book explains why such remarkable success came about against fierce international competition, provides a detailed assessment of… the merchant community which made it possible and analyses the close relationship between the tobacco business and the Scottish pathway to a new industrial society. The Tobacco Lords also fully demonstrates the decisive impact of these Scottish traders on the plantation economy and society of colonial North America in general and Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina in particular.First published in 1975 this pioneering book was acclaimed by reviewers and is still considered the seminal work on the subject.
