#47 Some Like It Scot

<p>CONTENT WARNING : discussions of racism, colonialism and cultural appropriation as it pertains to romance novels. Also loud bagpipe sounds. </p><p></p><p>This week we're taking a look under the kilt at the dark(?) history behind Scottish romance novels. Do you agree with Jackie- is there something a little off about Scots in romance books? Or is she thinking too deeply about all this...after all, these are *just* fiction books.</p><p></p><p>Shoutout to <a href="https://las.depaul.edu/academics/geography/faculty/Pages/euan-hague.aspx">Dr. Euan Hague</a> at De Paul University for sitting down with Jackie to talk cultural geography! Make sure to tune into minisode #22 to hear that entire interview!</p><p></p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eGAQ2LRg-s2jkB79Ux7lrNQJea8OGMoANaLxsOakIpo/edit?usp=sharing">Raging Romantics Book List! </a></p><p></p><p>Questions?
