The Enlightenment
The Enlightenment was an 18th century European concept that promoted rights and reason but was mostly indifferent to the pernicious and legal slavery that was taking place in the New World. The Enlightenment - Citizens of Britishness is a timely and moving document that deals with the consequences of New World Slavery as seen through the eyes of a Jamaican/British immigrant whose ancestors were slaves. The consequences of New World Slavery are embedded in our lives like genes because, as Professor Palmer concludes, we are all aware of the negative views of black people that have been passed on from slavery. In this regard, New World Slavery has contributed to what we have become.
Africa in Scotland, Scotland in Africa
Africa in Scotland, Scotland in Africa provides scholarly, interdisciplinary analysis of the historical and contemporary relationships, links and networks between Scotland, Africa and the African diaspora.

The Dundas Despotism
This is the first comprehensive and up-to-date biography of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811) and his son Robert, 2nd Viscount Melville (1771-1851). Aided by other members of their family, they ruled Scotland from the 1770s to the 1830s in a period of government later dubbed 'the Dundas Despotism'. Using a mass of new primary and secondary material culled from England, Scotland, Ireland and the United States, Michael Fry here challenges the traditional view that theirs was a corrupt and authoritarian regime. He shows that both father and son sought to achieve good government within the accepted political conventions of the age, and that many of the principles they set out to apply were owed directly to Scottish Enlightenment ideas. The Dundases were also of fundamental importance in drawing Scotland more fully into the United Kingdom and enabling the Union of 1707 to work. This is a sparkling reassessment of a crucial period of Scottish, British and imperial history. The Dundas Despotism was previously published by Edinburgh University Press.
