Or that the Scottish Honours System was introduced as far afield as New Zealand? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive introductory history of the Scottish diaspora examines these and related issues, exploring the migration of Scots overseas, their experiences in the new worlds in which they settled and the impact of the diaspora on Scotland. Global in scope, the book's distinctive feature is its focus on both the geographies of the Scottish diaspora and key theories, concepts and themes, including associationalism and return migration. By revisiting these themes throughout the chapters, the multifaceted characteristics of 'Scottishness' abroad are unravelled, transcending narrow interpretations that define the Scottish diaspora primarily in terms of the movement of people. Readers will gain an understanding of migration flows and destination countries, but also the imprints and legacies of émigré Scots overseas and at home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive overview of Scottish diaspora history\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSections explaining themes and geographies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternational in scope\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConceptual case studies: England \u0026amp; Ireland; United States; Canada; Africa; Asia; Australia \u0026amp; New Zealand (the Antipodes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanja Bueltmann, Andrew Hinson, Graeme Morton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0748648925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748648924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Tanja Bueltmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925872083199,"sku":"9780748648924","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3f4f1074-c30e-45c7-995f-5635526617f6.jpg?v=1681079870","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-scottish-diaspora-tanja-bueltmann-9780748648924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
