| Sumario: | 'Writing Black Scotland' examines race and racism in devolutionary Scottish literature, with a focus on the critical significance of Blackness. 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. |
