The book reads Blackness in Scottish writing from the 1970s to the early 2000s, a period of history defined by post-imperial adjustment. Critiquing a unifying Britishness at work in Black British criticism, Jackson argues for the importance of Black politics in Scottish writing, and for a literary registration of race and racism which signals a necessary negotiation for national Scotland both before and after 1997.Engagements with modern Scottish culture.Edinburgh scholarship online.English literatureBlack authorsHistory and criticismEnglish literatureAsian authorsHistory and criticismEnglish literatureScottish authorsHistory and criticismEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismBlack people in literatureAsians in literatureBlack peopleScotlandSocial conditionsAsiansScotlandSocial conditionsEnglish literatureBlack authorsHistory and criticism.English literatureAsian authorsHistory and criticism.English literatureScottish authorsHistory and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.Black people in literature.Asians in literature.Black peopleSocial conditions.AsiansSocial conditions.820.9896041Jackson Joseph H.1221148StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK996465256603316Writing Black scotland2831367UNISA
