Description:
This book draws on practitioner expertise in the academic and heritage sector to re-think the way that the transnational histories of Scotland are being told today.
Brief description: Emma Bond is Professor of Italian and Comparative Studies at the University of Oxford and was Principal Investigator of the 'Transnational Scotland' network (2019-20). She has published widely on transnational, border and migration cultures, including the monograph Writing Migration through the Body (2018) and the co-edited volume Destination Italy: Representing Migration in Contemporary Media and Narrative (2015).
Review Quotes: This volume - a range of very interesting essays based on a wide-ranging project embracing academics, museums and others in the field - is a lively, imaginative and revealing contribution towards rethinking Scotland's past [...] The Scottish past is more complex, more interesting - and much more global - than we once believed. Yet, this is only one aspect of an intellectual process that is seeping across the entire British Isles. The editors, as well as contributors, are to be congratulated for revealing the past as not so much a foreign country as a variety of foreign countries.--James Walvin "Family & Community History"
