Scotland After the Virus by Gerry Hassan

Scotland After the Virus by Gerry Hassan

Is there an ‘after the virus’, or is covid-19 and a world of future pandemics simply something we will have to live with for an indefinite period of time? In all honesty, no one knows the answer to that, which is why it is so destabilising. The covid pandemic poses huge challenges for Scotland – but also a unique opportunity to rethink who we are as a country, where we are heading, and how to restructure our economy, culture, politics and relationships in addressing the deep disparities the virus has exposed. Bringing together the unique voices of some of our best creative writers, poets and commentators, this book makes a significant contribution to rethinking our future. It explores what ‘after the virus’ could look like, and how it might be possible. Here are the hopeful voices we need for a time of both uncertainty and exploration.

'This book is a timely and welcome tonic for the dark times we are living through' – Elaine C Smith, Actor and Campaigner

'What binds our nation is not birth, but love.' – Ian Hamilton, QC and Author

'In the dark times, we need sparks of light like this to show the way forward to a brighter future.' – Val McDermid, Author

'This diverse range of voices beautifully show us that another world is possible, another Scotland is possible.' – Aamer Anwar, Lawyer and Former Rector, University of Glasgow
