Description
Scotland's sectarian society has long been debated in Parliament, the General Assembly, and the media. A serious assessment of the evidence has now been provided in this book. It tests the rhetoric with historical and social scientific data to describe and explain the changing pattern of relations between Catholics and Protestants over the 20th century. The book reveals that Catholic integration in Scotland has been more successful than previously thought, with deep divisions largely disappearing. In a increasingly secular society, religious identity has lost its social significance. The author draws on new historical research and major social surveys to present a reasoned argument and up-to-date information on sectarianism in Scotland. This book challenges long-held assumptions about the nature of Scottish society, offering a fresh perspective on a complex and contentious subject.
