Scottish traditional music has been through a successful revival in
the mid-twentieth century and has now entered a professionalised
and public space. Devolution in the UK and the surge of political
debate surrounding the independence referendum in Scotland in 2014
led to a greater scrutiny of regional and national identities
within the UK, set within the wider context of cultural
globalisation. This volume brings together a range of authors that
sets out to explore the increasingly plural and complex notions of
Scotland, as performed in and through traditional music.
Traditional music has played an increasingly prominent role in the
public life of Scotland, mirrored in other Anglo-American
traditions. This collection principally explores this movement from
historically text-bound musical authenticity towards more transient
sonic identities that are blurring established musical genres and
the meaning of what constitutes 'traditional' music today. The
volume therefore provides a cohesive set of perspectives on how
traditional music performs Scottishness at this crucial moment in
the public life of an increasingly (dis)United Kingdom.

Voicing Scotland takes the reader on a discovery tour through
Scotland’s traditional music and song culture, past and present.
West unravels the strings that link many of our contemporary
musicians, singers and poets with those of the past, offering up to
our ears these voices which deserve to be more loudly heard. What
do they say to us in the 21st Century? What is the role of
tradition in the contemporary world? Can there be a folk culture in
the digital age? What next for the traditional arts?
Black schools helped the black man to find himself. He found his
identity through the school. This identity was and is the most
essential thing for man, race, or nation. With the discovery of
identity one can draw analogies about his place or position in the
world. Identity was not the objectives of these schools, and one
should note that this identity was the result of many years of
struggle. It was not an overnight occurrence. This is not to say
that all blacks have self-identity, for they don't. Black inferior
schools were wonderful if you compared them with other black
schools.
