The first full-length ethnographic study of its kind, Highland
Homecomings examines the role of place, ancestry and territorial
attachment in the context of a modern age characterized by mobility
and rootlessness. With an interdisciplinary approach, speaking to
current themes in anthropology, archaeology, history, historical
geography, cultural studies, migration studies, tourism studies,
Scottish studies, Paul Basu explores the journeys made to the
Scottish Highlands and Islands to undertake genealogical research
and seek out ancestral sites. Using an innovative methodological
approach, Basu tracks journeys between imagined homelands and
physical landscapes and argues that through these genealogical
journeys, individuals are able to construct meaningful
self-narratives from the ambiguities of their diasporic migrant
histories, and recover their sense of home and self-identity. This
is a significant contribution to popular and academic Scottish
studies literature, particularly appealing to popular and academic
audiences in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Scotland
