A vital text for anyone studying the history of the Highland communities This book has been seminal in bringing to the fore the injustices that have been inflicted on the Highlands in the name of government andlandlord - injustices often lost in the name of dry statistics and academic balance.Written by a man who has gone on to become both an award-winning historian of the Highlands and a leading figure in the public life of theregion, The Making of the Crofting Community has attracted praise, inspired debate, and provoked outrage and controversy over the years. Thisbook remains necessary to challenge standard academic interpretations of the Highland past. Having long been one of the classics of Birlinn'sJohn Donald list, this revised and updated new edition includes a substantial new preface and an extensive reworking of the existing text.
