Storm clouds always gather over the story of the Highland
Clearances. The eviction of the Highlanders from the glens and
straths of the Highlands and Islands of the north of Scotland still
causes great historical dispute more than a century after the
events. The Highland Clearances also generated a great deal of
contemporary controversy and documentation. The record comes in
diverse forms and with radically different provenances, offering
excellent material for exercises in historical analysis and
selection. Debating the Highland Clearances introduces the Highland
Clearances as a classic historical problem. Eric Richards reviews
the historical debate and examines the methods and sources employed
by the combatants past and present. The debates among historians,
novelists, politicians and economists are no less passionate today
and raise major questions about interpretation and the appropriate
frame of reference for the noisy and continuing public debate about
the Highland Clearances. This book presents a representative
anthology of documents illustrating the historical foundations on
which the debate is built. The debate is set in context and the
author explains why it is not only important for Scottish patriots
but for history in general. Key Features: * Organised into two
parts; the first considers debates surrounding the Clearances, the
second examines a selection of the sources which inform these
debates * Presents and analyses an anthology of source material
compiled to introduce the debates surrounding the Highland
Clearances to audiences learning about historical analysis * Asks
why passionate debate about the Clearances has been sustained and
provides a modern introduction to its main issues
