No Problem Here: Scottish Parliament

  • Scottish Parliament (map)

In the month that Professor Sir Tom Devine stated that 'Sectarianism is in decline in Scotland' (The Herald, April), Neil Davidson, Maureen McBride, Nasar Meer and Paul Goldie discuss topics outlined in No Problem Here: Understanding Racism in Scotland, including Irish Catholics and Muslims in today's society.  

Opening up debate on a subject that has been shut down for too long, No Problem Here gathers together the views of academics, activists and anti-racism campaigners who argue that it is vital that the issue of racism be brought into the centre of public discourse.

Scotland's role in maintaining and extending slavery across the British Empire is finally beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Yet there is much more that needs to be said about racism in Scotland today. 

The event will be held in the Scottish Parliament and sponsered by Anas Sarwar MSP.
