Reviews
“The case presented in this book is a more positive one, posing the question of what kind of belonging an inclusive, differentiated, plural society can offer where peoples share a common language and code of conduct, yet continue to identify in culturally distinctive ways. The future is not dark, but it is far more unproblematic.” - Prof. Allan Findlay, University of Dundee
“This scholarly work addresses this neglected aspect of Scottish society in an engaging and sophisticated manner.” - Prof. James Mitchell, University of Strathclyde
“. . . revisits many arguments which have been mooted over the years about the English and Scottish relationship—but it is the [authors’] positioning of this from a perspective of the English in Scotland that allows for a fresh and challenging view.” - Prof. Murray Leith, University of Paisley
"This thoughtful, wide-ranging monograph adds significantly to understanding of the history of Anglo-Scots relationships." -- Prof. Ian Glover, University of Abertay
