"A Global Clan" explores the impact of Scottish migration on New
World development. With a new approach linking personal accounts to
'networks' of kin and social groups, this book taps into the
expanding academic debate on migration linking imperial history and
the European diaspora. Migration from the British 'Celtic fringe'
since the eighteenth century has had a significant impact on the
politics, economics, demography, sociology and culture of the New
World, as forces shaping international politics and even war. The
contributors use new material to explore Scottish migrant networks
and personal experiences in areas as diverse as India, New Zealand
and Australia. Here are assorted migrant voices from Ellis Island
and Australia, the tracts of transients in Asia and the Caribbean,
and the voluminous correspondence of a specific individual or
family in North America. The overarching approach, linking personal
accounts to wider networks of kinship and society, promises a
significant contribution to the historiography that will make it
essential reading for scholars interested in migration and its
implications.
