From: James Mcguire <[log in to unmask]> Subject: History-Ideas: Nationalism in the British Isles Organization: Glasgow University Priority: normal There is a growing body of literature in this field. I guess it depends what period youre interested in. As regards Scotland David McCrone's 'Understanding Scotland' is a useful sociological approach. A very interesting look at religious identity is Storrars' 'Scottish Identity: A Christian Vision (1990), which is, of course, important in looking at the protestant union. Ethnic ties are explored by Colin Kidd's 'british Identities before nationalism' (1999). I hope these are useful. James. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
