Standing Up for Scotland
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-4782-9 (ISBN)
David Torrance reassesses the relationship between 'nationalism' and 'unionism' in Scottish politics, challenging a binary reading of the two ideologies with the concept of 'nationalist unionism'. Scottish nationalism did not begin with the SNP in 1934, nor was it confined to political parties that desired independent statehood. Rather, it was more dispersed, with the Liberal, Conservative and Labour parties all attempting to harness Scottish national identity and nationalism between 1884 and 2014, often with the paradoxical goal of strengthening rather than ending the Union. The book combines nationalist theory with empirical historical and archival research to argue that these conceptions of Scottish nationhood had much more in common with each other than is commonly accepted.
David Torrance is a constitutional specialist at the House of Commons Library. He is also the author or editor of more than 20 books on Scottish politics, history and biography, including five with EUP. He completed a PhD in history and political science at the University of the West of Scotland in 2017. His most recent book was The Wild Men: The Remarkable Story of Britain’s First Labour Government (Bloomsbury Continuum, 2024).
