The Scottish Diaspora

The Scottish Diaspora

Edinburgh University Press
2013
sidottu
A history of the Scottish diaspora from c.1700 to 1945 Did you know that Scotland was one of Europe's main population exporters in the age of mass migration? Or that the Scottish Honours System was introduced as far afield as New Zealand? This 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 emigre Scots overseas and at home. Key Features *Comprehensive overview of Scottish diaspora history *Sections explaining themes and geographies *International in scope *Conceptual case studies: England & Ireland; United States; Canada; Africa; Asia; Australia & New Zealand (the Antipodes)

Scottish Ethnicity and the Making of New Zealand Society, 1850-1930

Scottish Ethnicity and the Making of New Zealand Society, 1850-1930

Tanja Bueltmann

Edinburgh University Press
2011
sidottu
The Scots accounted for around a quarter of all UK-born immigrants to New Zealand between 1861 and 1945, but have only been accorded scant attention in New Zealand histories, specialist immigration histories and Scottish Diaspora Studies. This is all the more peculiar because the flow of Scots to New Zealand, although relatively unimportant to Scotland, constituted a sizable element to the country's much smaller population. Seen as adaptable, integrating relatively more quickly than other ethnic migrant groups in New Zealand, the Scots' presence was obscured by a fixation on the romanticised shortbread tin facade of Scottish identity overseas. Uncovering Scottish ethnicity from the verges of nostalgia, this study documents the notable imprint Scots left on New Zealand. The book examines Scottish immigrant community life, culture and identity between 1850 and 1930, and: *explores informal and formal networks, associational life and transferred cultural practices to capture how Scottish immigrants negotiated their ethnicity, but also how that ethnicity fed into wider social structures in New Zealand; *argues that Scottish ethnicity in New Zealand functioned more as a positive mechanism for integration into the new society than as a protective and defensive source of reassurance and comfort; and *contends that Scots contributed disproportionately to the making of New Zealand society.

Was haben Schafe mit Spiritualit t zu tun? Wie h ngen Nebelwanderungen in Schottland mit der Unendlichkeit zusammen? Und wieso kann einem ein Knoten im Karma v llig egal sein? ln ihrem Buch zeichnet die Schweizer Autorin Tanja Angelina Bischofberger die wichtigsten Stationen ihres spirituellen Weges nach. Mit eindr cklichen Erz hlungen aus ihrer Biografie l sst sie uns daran teilhaben, wie ihre Geschichte als Adoptivkind aus Bangladesch und die fr he Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Tod und Sterben ihr spirituelles Empfinden auf eine ganz eigene Weise gepr gt haben. Mit viel Gesp r und einem leichten Augenzwinkern schildert sie ihre Wahrnehmung des einen sch pferischen Seins, das sich in unterschiedlichen Facetten zeigt. Wir werden eingeladen, uns ohne Dogma und ohne Guru auf den Weg zu machen, um in uns selbst ein bisschen Ewigkeit zu finden.

The award-winning poet weaves a tapestry of literary heritage and intimate reflection as she pays tribute to women artists and mentors, and circles the ongoing mysteries of friendship, love, art, and loss. In this powerful gathering of poems about her own "influencers," as well as poems on Dadaist artist M ret Oppenheim and the young choreographer Lauren Lovette, Brenda Shaughnessy dwells in memories of the women who set her on her artistic path. In the title poem, she explores the eternal quality of an intense touchstone relationship with Tanya, about whom she writes, "Everyone's not you to me . . . Worth loving once, why not now?" We all have our own Tanya, and in this book we meet friends, mentors, sisters, lovers, who inhabit a verse classroom where Shaughnessy's passion for literature--forged in her own formative studies, as in the poem "Coursework"--is our teacher. In flowing stair-step tercets, Shaughnessy leads us down into her generative core, exposing moments of spiritual and intellectual awakening, her love of art and the written word, and her sense of the life force itself, which is ignited by the conversation--across time and space--with other women.
