摘要

这次公开演讲考虑了19世纪40年代欧洲马铃薯枯萎病对苏格兰的影响。它特别侧重于高地，在那里，疫霉使该地区的人民面临严重的危及生命的危机。在整个过程中，与爱尔兰大饥荒(an Gorta Mór)进行了比较和对比，爱尔兰大饥荒比苏格兰的饥荒吸引了更多的学者和公众的关注。一个关键的问题是为什么高地没有饿死，不像爱尔兰海的可怕悲剧?迪瓦恩进一步描述了高地饥荒如何引发了前所未有的规模和强度的“清除”，迫使人们离开他们的传统家园，清空了整个地区的人民。他在结语时提出了疑问:“大清除”时代是随着大规模强制驱逐的解除而结束，还是土地阶级采取了其他策略迫使高地人离开。

Climax of Clearance: Famine, Race and Compulsory Emigration

This public lecture considers the impact of the 1840s European potato blight on Scotland. It focuses especially on the Highlands, where phytophthora infestans exposed the people of the region to acute life-threatening crisis. Throughout, comparisons and contrasts are drawn with the Great Irish Famine ( an Gorta Mór) which has attracted much more scholarly and popular attention than the famine in Scotland. One key question is why did the Highlands not starve, unlike the appalling tragedy over the Irish Sea? Devine further describes how Highland famine triggered an unprecedented scale and intensity of ‘clearance’, forced removal of people from their traditional holdings, which emptied entire districts of their people. He concludes by querying whether the era of Clearance ended with the removal of forced mass eviction, or whether other strategies by the landed class served to compel Highlanders to leave.

期刊介绍： Scottish Affairs, founded in 1992, is the leading forum for debate on Scottish current affairs. Its predecessor was Scottish Government Yearbooks, published by the University of Edinburgh''s ''Unit for the Study of Government in Scotland'' between 1976 and 1992. The movement towards the setting up the Scottish Parliament in the 1990s, and then the debate in and around the Parliament since 1999, brought the need for a new analysis of Scottish politics, policy and society. Scottish Affairs provides that opportunity. Fully peer-reviewed, it publishes articles on matters of concern to people who are interested in the development of Scotland, often setting current affairs in an international or historical context, and in a context of debates about culture and identity. This includes articles about similarly placed small nations and regions throughout Europe and beyond. The articles are authoritative and rigorous without being technical and pedantic. No subject area is excluded, but all articles pay attention to the social and political context of their topics. Thus Scottish Affairs takes up a position between informed journalism and academic analysis, and provides a forum for dialogue between the two. The readers and contributors include journalists, politicians, civil servants, business people, academics, and people in general who take an informed interest in current affairs.
