Reimagining Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Histories, Identities and the Gaelic Renaissance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Since the 1960s, policies to 'revive' minority cultures and languages have flourished. But what does it mean to have a 'cultural identity'? And are minorities as deeply attached to their traditions as revival policies suppose? This book is a sophisticated analysis of responses to the 'Gaelic renaissance' in a Scottish Hebridean community.
