Provides a cultural history and political critique of Scottish
devolution Provides the first critical history of Scottish
devolution Offers the first multidisciplinary study of (UK or
Scottish) devolution: engaging extensively with the work of
historians, sociologists, political scientists and cultural
theorists Combines close attention to political and electoral
factors with cultural issues and developments Draws on political
theory which illuminates devolution from outside its terms This
book is about the role of writers and intellectuals in shaping
constitutional change. Considering an unprecedented range of
literary, political and archival materials, it explores how
questions of 'voice', language and identity featured in debates
leading to the new Scottish Parliament in 1999. Tracing both the
'dream' of cultural empowerment and the 'grind' of electoral
strategy, it reconstructs the influence of magazines such as
Scottish International, Radical Scotland, Cencrastus and Edinburgh
Review, and sets the fiction of William McIlvanney, James Kelman,
Irvine Welsh, A. L. Kennedy and James Robertson within a radically
altered picture of devolved Scotland.
