Scottish Independence Podcasts
Society & Culture
In his book Doun Hauden Prof Alf Baird draws on research from colonial experiences of decolonisation to re-examine the question of Scottish Nationhood.
We are delighted to welcome Alf back onto the Mibbes Aye show as our guest this month to take us through the results of his research - described by many as "a lightbulb moment".
So IS Scotland a colony? Well, not constitutionally or legally as Alf readily admits. But is there a social, cultural and linguistic element of colonialism which can affect the mindset of a nation? Alf's research suggests this is very much a possibility and may well have been the determining factor in the result of the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum
The book Doun Hauden is available from all good booksellers.
