An important book for understanding racism in Scotland but might not be accessible for some

A collection of academic papers on racism and sectarianism in Scotland, some better written than others. I’m aware of an attitude that Scotland is better than England at this stuff, and maybe it has aspirations, but there’s a lot to be done.
The second last was my favourite by far, around race, ethnicity and employment. It’s so accessible, and practical, and states the problem and the first steps we can make to improve succinctly.

The research is fascinating, but the book reads like a 200-page-long sociology lab report. Those not used to deciphering Academese and picking out the vital pieces of information will find it a huge challenge - given the topic of No Problem Here, I would argue that the opposite effect should be aimed for.
Scotland needs the stats and research, and this book functions as a hub for it, which is fantastic. However, there is so much more this book could have contributed to the conversation; instead it's bogged down by those same stats and research.

Borrowed on Libby. Can’t get into it on the phone screen so will get a paper copy to read.
