What does it mean to imagine Wales and 'The Welsh' as something
both distinct and inclusive? In Welsh (Plural), some of the
foremost Welsh writers consider the future of Wales and their place
in it. For many people, Wales brings to mind the same old
collection of images - if it's not rugby, sheep and leeks, it's the
3 Cs: castles, coal, and choirs. Heritage, mining and the church
are indeed integral parts of Welsh culture. But what of the other
stories that point us toward a Welsh future? In this anthology of
essays, authors offer imaginative, radical perspectives on the
future of Wales as they take us beyond the cliches and binaries
that so often shape thinking about Wales and Welshness. Includes
essays from Charlotte Williams (A Tolerant Nation?), Joe Dunthorne
(Submarine, The Adulterants), Niall Griffiths (Sheepshagger, Broken
Ghost), Rabab Ghazoul (Gentle / Radical Turner Prize Nominee), Mike
Parker (On the Red Hill), Martin Johnes (Wales Since 1939, Wales:
England's Colony?), Kandace Siobhan Walker (2019 Guardian 4th
Estate Prize Winner), Gary Raymond (Golden Orphans, Wales Arts
Review, BBC Wales), Darren Chetty (The Good Immigrant), Andy Welch
(The Guardian), Marvin Thompson (Winner 2021 UK Poetry Prize),
Durre Shahwar (Where I'm Coming From), Hanan Issa (My Body Can
House Two Hearts), Dan Evans (Desolation Radio), Shaheen Sutton,
Morgan Owen, Iestyn Tyne, Grug Muse and Cerys Hafana.
