Since the 1960s, policies to 'revive' minority cultures and
languages have flourished. But what does it mean to have a
'cultural identity'? And are minorities as deeply attached to their
languages and traditions as revival policies suppose? This book is
a sophisticated analysis of responses to the 'Gaelic renaissance'
in a Scottish Hebridean community. Its description of everyday
conceptions of belonging and interpretations of cultural policy
takes us into the world of Gaelic playgroups, crofting, local
history, religion and community development. Historically and
theoretically informed, this book challenges many of the ways in
which we conventionally think about ethnic and national identity.
This accessible and engaging account of life in this remote region
of Europe provides an original and timely contribution to questions
of considerable currency in a broad range of social science
disciplines.
