Making of the Crofting Community, The

Written by a man who has gone on to become both an award-winning historian of the Highlands and a leading figure in the public life of the region, The Making of the Crofting Community has attracted praise, inspired debate, and provoked outrage and controversy over the years. This book remains necessary to challenge standard academic interpretations of the Highland past. Having long been one of the classics of the John Donald list, this revised and updated new edition includes a substantial new preface and an extensive reworking of the existing text.
