Spanning four politically and socially tumultuous decades, Stephen
Maxwell’s writings explore the origins and development of the
modern Scottish Nationalist movement. As an instrumental member of
the SNP and a life-long socialist, Maxwell’s work provides an
engaging contemporary insight into the debate over Scottish
independence, setting out a clear ideological and practical
arguments for a socially just Scotland. The Case for Left Wing
Nationalism – Maxwell’s seminal 1981 pamphlet – considers the
historical and cultural roots of Scottish national identity and
stresses the importance of a realistic understanding of the past as
the basis of a more prosperous, independent future. It concludes
with Hugh MacDiarmid’s prescription for a Scottish renaissance:
Not Traditions – Precedents.
Following an introductory chapter exploring why political argument
deals in probability and plausibility across interdependent areas
of social activity not certainty in individual areas, this book
offers a case for independence under six main headings – the
democratic case, the economic case, the social case, the
international case, the cultural case and the environmental case.
Under each heading, the case is assessed against both the
supportive evidence and the hostile evidence, from a variety of
sources, concluding with a judgement of where the balance of the
evidence points. The book concludes with a selection of populist
objections to independence answered by summary rebuttals from the
independence file.

the point of view of many consumers under the age of 65.
Furthermore, the book provides background information about
