One People Two Islands: The historic entanglement of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, 1770-1830
This project explores broader consequences of the transatlantic movement of people from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to Nova Scotia in the late eighteenth and early-to-mid-nineteenth centuries. It does so within the context of British colonization and empire-building.
The project purposely draws upon the often peripheralised Catholic dimension in elaborating more critical perspectives on the legacies of the process of dispossession and resettlement, with the objective of developing a more coordinated approach to making space for uncomfortable truths in Scottish and Nova Scotian curricula.
The displacement of Indigenous people like the Mi'kmaq remains misunderstood in Scotland, with deleterious effects for research on and engagement with imperial legacies.
