520 |a Writing Black Scotland examines race and racism in devolutionary Scottish literature, with a focus on the critical significance of blackness.

Critiquing a unifying Britishness at work in black British criticism, Jackson argues for the importance of black politics in Scottish writing, and for a literary registration of race and racism which signals a necessary negotiation for national Scotland both before and after 1997.
