How appropriate is it to characterise Western universities as institutionally racist?
No full textThe Macpherson Report in 1999 claimed that public organisations, including universities, were characterised by institutional racism. This paper critically examines the concept of institutional racism before using it as a sensitising concept to investigate ethnographically in one university in the UK over a ten-year period. While I was initially sceptical of the analytical utility of the concept of institutional racism, since it seemed to gloss over important conceptual distinctions, the concept ultimately proved revealing in accounting for significant continuities in the approach of universities, including Midshire, to race equality. Throughout the period under discussion, there was a reluctance to identify race equality as a priority and to take corresponding action because of what has been called "the sheer weight of whiteness" (Back 2004, 1). A comparison of Midshire University with Midshire Police reinforced this perception. While it identified contrasts in the occupational cultures of the two organisations, at the same time it pointed to surprising parallels in their approaches to race equality, which stemmed from a taken for granted white norm. Despite this, the concept of institutional racism as defined in the Macpherson report and employed in the Parekhh report fails to capture significant differences between public organisations and changes over time. The author concludes that universities are not appropriately characterised as institutionally racist and are more appropriately conceptualised as pervaded by a white nor

The Highlander
No full textThis thesis explores James Macpherson’s The Highlander (1758) in relation to originality, Scottish identity and historiography. It also situates the Ossianic Collections in the context of Macpherson’s earlier poetical and later historical works. There are three parts to it: a biographical sketch of Macpherson’s early life, the annotated edition of The Highlander, and discursive commentary chapters. By examining The Highlander in detail this thesis questions the emphasis of other Macpherson criticism on the Ossianic Collections, and allows us to see him as a writer who is historically minded, very aware of sources, well versed in established forms of poetry and thoroughly, and positively, British. The Highlander stands out among the corpus of his works not because it can give us insights into the Ossianic Collections, which is its usual function in Macpherson criticism, but because it can help us understand what it is that connects Macpherson’s earlier and later works with the Ossianic Collections: history, Britishness, tradition.
Macpherson’s poetical works are united by a desire to translate Scotland’s factual past into sentimental British poetry. In the Ossianic Collections he does so without particular faithfulness to his sources, but in The Highlander he converts historical sources directly into neo-classic verse. This is where Macpherson’s originality lies: his ability to adapt history. In different styles and genres, and based on different sources, Macpherson’s works are early examples of Scotland’s great literary achievement: historical fiction. Instead of accusing him of forgery or trying to trace his knowledge of Gaelic ballads, this thesis presents Macpherson as a genuine historian who happened to write in a variety of genres

Social and economic papers ; no. 8
No full textA collection of essays by various authors on the migration to and settling of Newfoundland and Labrador. "The main objective of this volume is to analyse the process of the peopling of Newfoundland. Each essay examines the initial inflow of migrants and settlers to a particular area or areas and then considers the subsequent growth of population there and the expansion of permanent settlement. Beyond the common theme of migration and settlement formation, each author focuses on a specific topic pertinent to the historical geography of Newfoundland" (Preface).English migration to Newfoundland / W.
