Social and Cultural Change in Contemporary Wales (1978) draws
together recent research specifically on Wales, to overcome the
overly-English takes on the ‘social structure of modern
Britain’. A pattern of relative social deprivation is outlined,
and such symptoms of this deprivation as second home ownership,
school closure, economic peripheralism and inadequate social
services become the marker of Wales’ marginality. The cultural
marker of note is the Welsh language, several of the papers
discussing its erosion and the steps taken to preserve and maintain
it. While ethnicity serves as an integrating force, there are also
divisions based upon class, which are discussed.
