Our Centre Director, Professor Angela McCarthy, and Centre Steering Group Member Professor Sir Tom Devine have recently had their edited collection New Scots: Scotland’s Immigrant Communities since 1945<\/em><\/a>\u00a0published by Edinburgh University Press as part of their Studies in Scottish and Irish Migration series<\/a>. The book is one of four publications to emerge from a 3-year (2014-2016) Economic and Social Research Society (UK) funded seminar series <\/a>on Scotland\u2019s diasporas in international comparative context.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The book is the first wide-ranging, cross-disciplinary overview of immigration to Scotland in recent history and its impact on both the newcomers and the host society. It examines key themes relating to postwar migration by showcasing the experiences of many of Scotland\u2019s most striking immigrant communities of people arriving from England, Poland, India, Pakistan, China, the Caribbean and the African continent.
