Writing Black Scotland is a most needed intervention into twenty-first century understanding of Scottish literature through time, raising questions about 'otherness' and 'othering' as well as purposive colonialism, subjugation and exploitation. The book is lucid, compassionate, discriminating and admirably sensitive to discrete historical moments, illuminating and engaged at every level.--Alan Riach, University of Glasgow
