Scottish nationalism is a powerful movement in contemporary
politics, yet the goal of Scottish independence emerged
surprisingly recently into public debate. The origins of Scottish
nationalism lie not in the medieval battles for Scottish statehood,
the Acts of Union, the Scottish Enlightenment, or any other
traditional historical milestone. Instead, an influential
separatist Scottish nationalism began to take shape only in the
1970s and achieved its present ideological maturity in the course
of the 1980s and 1990s. The nationalism that emerged from this
testing period of Scottish history was unusual in that it demanded
independence not to defend a threatened ancestral culture but as
the most effective way to promote the agenda of the left. This
accessible and engaging account of the political thought of
Scottish nationalism explores how the arguments for Scottish
independence were crafted over some fifty years by intellectuals,
politicians and activists, and why these ideas had such a seismic
impact on Scottish and British politics in the 2014 independence
referendum.
