| Abstract
|
:
|
"In The Road to Independence? the author relates the economic, social and cultural history of Scotland since 1960, the rise of modern Scottish nationalism and the reasons for it, the recent history and differing character of Scotland's cities and cultural industries, the impact of multiculturalism on Scottish as distinct from British society and the changes wrought by devolution, including the reasons for the election of Scotland's first-ever nationalist government in 2007." "The Road to Independence? is the only history of Scotland available with a truly contemporary focus. In dealing with everything from modern painting to political structures, it is remarkably comprehensive; in explaining the rise of modern nationalism it is of fundamental importance to policymakers and the wider public. It will be of interest to students of politics, history, law and social science, and to all who want to understand the rapidly changing face of Britain."--Jacket.
