About This Item
This is a first edition of Scotland's Empire, a dazzling account of Scotland's role in the world by Scotland's bestselling historian.
The Scots had an enormous impact on the global development of the British Empire as emigrants, soldiers, merchants and colonial administrators. Devine's work is a powerful and highly readable contribution Scottish diaspora studies and towards a reevaluation of Scotland's role in the empire. By emphasizing the global spread of the Scots, Devine teases out the impact of the Scots who migrated to the US, Canada, Australia and the Caribbean and the role Scottish culture and education played in shaping the places they went. Furthermore, Devine's background in economic history allows the disproportionate benefits Scotland gained from participation in the British imperial project to be drawn out. Scots participated significantly in the Atlantic slave trade, and Glasgow in particular gained from the funds generated by Scottish control of the Virginia tobacco trade. Devine's work challenges the narrative that the Scots were an oppressed people.
