Scots were involved in every stage of the slave trade: from captaining slaving ships to auctioning captured Africans in the colonies and hunting down those who escaped from bondage. This book focuses on the Scottish Highlanders who engaged in or benefitted from these crimes against humanity in the Caribbean Islands and Guyana, some reluctantly but many with enthusiasm and without remorse. Their voices are clearly heard in the archives, while in the same sources their victims’ stories are silenced – reduced to numbers and listed as property.
David Alston gives voice not only to these Scots but to enslaved Africans and their descendants – to those who reclaimed their freedom, to free women of colour, to the Black Caribs of St Vincent, to house servants, and to children of mixed race who found themselves in the increasingly racist society of Britain in the mid-1800s.
As Scots recover and grapple with their past, this vital history lays bare the enormous wealth generated in the Highlands by slavery and emancipation compensation schemes. This legacy, entwined with so many of our contemporary institutions, must be reckoned with.

Описание: This book offers insights into why engagement in commercial sex is prolific as sexual culture is transformed in late modernity. Drawing on original empirical data with men who buy sex, the book explores not only `why men buy sex`, but also the sociological and psychological processes that men encounter in order to enter an assumed `deviant` sexual behaviour as part of their everyday lives.

Описание:
No home. No clan. No need of a wife. Until her.
Alexander MacCoinnich fights for hire if the cause is worthy and the price is right. Life as a mercenary suits him-until a fierce beauty snatches him from death's door after the massacre at Glencoe. Though he has nothing to offer but himself, he canna leave behind the sweet lass who risked everything to save him.
She made an impossible promise.
When Catriona Neal promised her dying mother she'd do her best to shield the clan from her father's maniacal whims, she didn't realize her twin brother, next in line to be the chieftain, was far more dangerous than her evil sire. But the arrival of the wounded, Highland warrior her brother hates and fears gives her hope and so much more.
Conquer or be conquered.
Heartbreaking treachery melds a bond between Catriona and Alexander, but can they survive long enough to nurture the love they both so desperately need?
*If you love action-packed, romantic page-turners set in Scotland during the dangerous times of the Glencoe Massacre and the early Jacobite uprisings, stirring tales about fierce Highland warriors and the fearless women who tame them, then this is the perfect novel for you *
Intrigue, betrayal, and fiery romance abound in this prequel to the Highland Heroes series from bestselling author Maeve Greyson.
