Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Wales is a changing nation, it incorporates peoples of different inheritances, backgrounds and perspectives, all of whom will contribute to shaping the nation’s future. A Tolerant Nation? presents the first overview of the past two hundred years of ethnic diversity in Wales and demonstrates the significance of this diversity for understanding contemporary Wales. In addition to providing a historical context for understanding Welsh multiculturalism, the essays collected here also discuss dominant views of ethnic diversity in Wales and the ways in which the Welsh themselves have been conceived of as an ethnic minority, both within and outside Wales. Individual essays reflect on issues such as the literary representation of race, Welsh missionary activities, racial tensions, refugees and asylum seekers in Wales, and the question of equality. A Tolerant Nation? illustrates the significant contribution of ethnic minorities in Wales to the development of Welsh economic, social and cultural life. It offers a revealing insight into the rich diversity of contemporary Wales, and fills a glaring gap in current research on the state of the devolved nation. ******************************** Brings together a wealth of facts, figures, individuals' stories and viewpoints on ethnic diversity in Wales over time - something much needed. Black and Asian Association Newsletter Those who have an interest in Wales will find this book invaluable. Those wishing to ask similar questions about other cases will also find much of interest. The book stimulates thinking on the ways in which ethnic diversity provides challenges and opportunities to all communities. - Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism ...an important volume, which contains a number of fine essays and merits a wide audience. - Welsh History Review
