At a time when many European nationalist movements are attempting to preserve their culture by rejecting immigration and diversification, openness to immigration and diversity is a central political strategy for Scottish nation building, making Scotland a key case study for how nationalist sentiments and cosmopolitan identities can join together. This book discusses whether the pro-immigration strategies implemented by the Scottish political leadership could be employed elsewhere, addressing ongoing public debates about minority integration and multiculturalism in Western democracies, and the potential power of local or national political elites to steer rhetoric against anti-immigrant forces.
Aubrey Westfall is Associate Professor of Political Science at Wheaton College. She is co-author of The Politics of the Headscarf in the United States (2018, Cornell University Press).
