The Modern Scottish Diaspora: Contemporary Debates and Perspectives

Coinciding with Scotland’s second year of Homecoming in 2014, The Modern Scottish Diaspora brings together well-established and emerging scholars to present a contemporary “diasporic’ perspective on national affairs for Scotland. The book reflects a growing interest in the subject from politicians, academics and policy makers: the Scottish Government has actively developed a diaspora strategy, not least in order to encourage "roots tourism’, as individuals come back to visit their "homeland’ diaspora.
