The Old Divide: Sectarianism In Scotland - A History

Author, journalist, and political activist Chris Bambery has written extensively about history and politics, both at home and abroad.

In his latest book, The Old Divide: A History of Sectarianism in Scotland, he looks at the roots of the country’s sectarianism problem and its toxic legacy.

Come to this book launch as we discuss the historical events that have constructed sectarianism in Scotland, the misconception that it’s primarily linked to football rivalry, its connections to Irish Home Rule and Irish migration and why damaging tropes must be dismantled.
