What if I Sang Flower of Scotland? confronts the transnational histories of Scottish culture from a perspective grounded in Vancouver, asking what it means to be a settler on stolen land who has only secondary connections to a distant homeland. Weaving together research into masculine-coded rugby, Scottish history, and Scottish women's material culture, Strang tosses us into a series of battlegrounds, wars over territory and workplace, warping and wefting across a constant, multisided struggle across field and pitch to ask what stories her ancestors brought with them, and how they're still at play. Structured like a cross between a rugby match and a weaving, What if I Sang Flower of Scotland? plunges into the scrum and the ruck of what it means to take up the banner but not sing the song of a fraught nationalism.
