JENNI CALDER

JENNI CALDER was born Jennifer Rachel Daiches to a Scottish-born mother and English-born Jewish father in Chicago, one of America's great melting-pot cities. She has lived in Edinburgh for over 20 years. In April 2004 Jenni travelled to Canada to help promote her book Scots in Canada. Her biography, Not Nebuchadnezzer, is a series of essays on the nature of identity and self. In Scots in the USA, Jenni charts the experiences of Scottish settlers across the Atlantic and explores the relationship that exists today between Americans and their ancestors from Scotland.

JENNI'S BOOKS

The story of the Scots who went to Canada, from the 17th century onwards. In Canada there are nearly as many descendants of Scots as there are people living in Scotland; almost 5 million Canadians ticked the 'Scottish origin' box in the most recent Canadian Census. Many Scottish families have friends or relatives in Canada.

Not Nebuchadnezzar

This is a biography, of sorts, and a description of the all-consuming search for that elusive concept known as 'identity'.

Scots in the USA

In recent years, the popularity of events like Tartan Week has demonstrated the deep interest many Americans have in their Scottish ancestry. This book explores the lives of those who left Scotland for a better life in the New World.
