Media reviews

"In this splendid book Fiona Mackenzie provides an excellent analysis of the principles and practice of community land-ownership, an idea which is transforming the landscape of the Scottish highlands. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the Hebrides and a very wide range of interdisciplinary references she adds depth and clarity to our understanding of this profound shift in Scottish society."
- Ewen A. Cameron, Professor of History, University of Edinburgh

"Because Fiona Mackenzie has spent a lot of time in the area, she has got to grips with the Highlands and Islands experience of community ownership in a way that no other academic author has done. Mackenzie has much to say that is novel, perceptive and important, while her background and experience is such as to enable her to bring a range of theoretical perspectives to bear on her subject matter."
- James Hunter, Emeritus Professor of History, University of the Highlands and Islands
