Planting Thistles
Scottish Islander Colonization in Late Victorian Canada
Timothy S. Forest
Forest explores the motivations, misfires, and consequences of the state-sponsored and failed attempts to transplant Scottish crofters from the Outer Hebrides to British Columbia and the Prairies at the height of the Victorian age. This failure prompted colonizers to re-examine issues of religion, race, class, gender, Britishness, and modernity.
