Creative Cities
The drive to make creative cities has become a global phenomenon in the twenty‐first century. Advocates claim that city‐shaping investment in the arts, entertainment, knowledge, and cultural economies, and in urban planning policies will attract members of the creative class and produce thriving places. Critics suggest that this trend is problematic: it privileges urban elites, encourages gentrification, and excludes lower‐income and working‐clas…
The UK's strength is that everybody's in’: Scottish-American Reactions to the 2014 Independence Referendum
To explore US perspectives on the 2014 Independence Referendum, we assessed media coverage of the campaign and newspaper editorials, pairing these commentaries with interviews of Scottish-Americans conducted in the month immediately following the vote. Many in the United States perceived the referendum to be a model of participatory democracy, and recognized the complex issues that faced Scottish voters. In common with those in Scotland, economic…

To see oursels as ithers see us’: Reflections on Scottish Independence from the United States
The United States media have given rather little attention to the question of the Scottish referendum despite important economic, political and military links between the US and the UK/Scotland. For some in the US a ‘no’ vote would be greeted with relief given these ties: for others, a ‘yes’ vote would be acclaimed as an underdog escaping England's imperium, a narrative clearly echoing America's own founding story. This article explores commentar…

The Jefferson Davis Highway: Contesting the Confederacy in the Pacific Northwest
The Jefferson Davis Highway (JDH) is a controversial Confederate memorial. Since 1913 the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) have placed markers along roadsides across America to commemorate the Confederate President. The women's organization claims that the JDH stretches over four thousand miles from Alexandria, Virginia to the Pacific coast and the Canadian border. In 2002, conflict ensued in the Pacific northwestern state of Washington …

The Right to Enter Every Other State' - The Supreme Court and African American Mobility in the United States
In 1857, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney stated in the Dred Scott case that if one African American was free to move unhindered throughout the United States, then all African Americans, enslaved or otherwise, would have ‘the right to enter every other State’. Such a situation, he argued, was untenable. The Supreme Court thus suggested that if U.S. citizenship included a de facto right to mobility, then African Americans could not …

Representations of Race and Romance: The Portrayal of People of Scottish Descent in North America by British Newspapers, 1997-1999
The late-1990s was a moment when the issue of Scottish identity came to the fore in popular culture. In the United Kingdom, the 1997 devolution referendum and subsequent establishment of a Scottish parliament in 1999 led to the issue of what it means to be Scottish being widely discussed in the British media. Arguably, however, the major factors shaping these assessments came from North America. The release of Mel Gibson's phenomenally successful…

Whiteness, multiculturalism and nationalist appropriation of Celtic culture: The case of the League of the South and the Lega Nord
The League of the South (USA) and Lega Nord (Italy), formed in 1994 and 1991 respectively, are nationalist organizations that have utilized claims to Celtic ethnicity to further their appeal. In this article we explore these claims, made in relation to the southern United States and northern Italy, and argue that they are used by these organizations to justify exclusionary politics. By claiming a privileged status for Celtic culture, heritage and…
Race, Nation, and Nature: The Cultural Politics of “Celtic” Identification in the American West
Claims regarding a unitary, coherent “Celtic” culture and its westward spread over centuries have proliferated rapidly over the past 10 to 15 years. We examine both this general phenomenon, and one specific instance of it in detail: the claims of Celtic identity by Wise Use activists in New Mexico in the 1990s. Our primary concern is to examine their significance and utility in contemporary cultural politics. We argue that they have provided a po…

The US Civil War as a Theological War: Confederate Christian Nationalism and the League of the South
IntroductionFormed in Alabama in 1994, the League of the South is a nationalist organization that advocates secession from the United States of America and the establishment of a fifteen-state Confederate States of America (CSA) – four states more than seceded during the US Civil War (1861–1865), the additional states being Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland (Southern Patriot). With over ten thousand members, the League professes a comm…
Exclusive Visions? Representations of Family, Work and Gender in the Work of the British Social Exclusion Unit
The Social Exclusion Unit (SEU) of the British Government is a recent and innovative response to social problems in the UK. Through an examination of selected publications of the SEU, the article highlights some of the representations of family, work and gender which provide the discursive context in which the SEU operates and to which it, in turn, contributes. The article suggests that perspectives found in the post-1945 welfare state continue t…
Political Constructions and Social Realities of Exclusion in Urban Leisure: The case of elderly women in Stoke-on-Trent, England
This paper explores some of the tensions between the political constructions of social exclusion in Britain and personal experiences of the problem as reflected in selected patterns of urban leisure. To highlight what we argue are wider incidences of exclusion, the paper draws on a case study of the leisure patterns of elderly women in contrasting urban neighbourhoods in a British city. Using Johnson's (1986) concept of a circuit of culture, the …
The Emigrant Experience: The Scottish Diaspora
The Emigrant Experience: The Scottish Diaspora' conference was co-hosted by the interdisciplinary Scottish Studies Program of the University of Guelph and the Canadian educational and heritage organisation, the Scottish Studies Foundation. The papers presented dealt with a range of economic and social issues pertaining to Scottish emigration. Although the major focus of the papers was on Canadian examples, others examined Scots travelling to the …
Left out? Observations on the RGS‐IBG conference on social exclusion and the city
On 29 October 1998, the RGS‐IBG invited delegates to a conference entitled ‘Social exclusion and the city’, with Geoff Mulgan (founder of the think‐tank Demos and a policy advisor to Prime Minister Blair) as the keynote speaker. The event was well attended, providing much useful insight into the government policies of the 'Social Exclusion Unit’ and ongoing academic research into the processes and problems of 'social exclusion’. Here we provide s…
