Based on the most recent historical research and current debates
about Wales and Welshness, this volume offers the most up-to-date,
authoritative and accessible account of the period from Neanderthal
times to the opening of the Senedd, the new home of the National
Assembly for Wales, in 2006. Within a remarkably brief and
stimulating compass, Geraint H. Jenkins explores the emergence of
Wales as a nation, its changing identities and values, and the
transformations its people experienced and survived throughout the
centuries. In the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, the Welsh
never reconciled themselves to political, social and cultural
subordination, and developed ingenious ways of maintaining a
distinctive sense of their otherness. The book ends with the coming
of political devolution and the emergence of a greater measure of
cultural pluralism. Professor Jenkins's lavishly illustrated volume
provides enthralling material for scholars, students, general
readers, and travellers to Wales.
