Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

“valuable … controversial … this book deserves wider notice from those interested in political parties and ideological relations within them” David S. Moon (Political Studies Review) “illuminating … offers useful, brief overviews of some of the key intellectual and political traditions that have informed the party’s thinking, from liberalism to socialism, from linguistic conservatism to environmentalism and feminism” Daniel G. Williams (Studies on National Movements) “Sandry’s highly informative navigation of his readers through the party’s historical recourse to a miscellany of supplementary ideologies lends support to Freeden’s assessment that nationalism is a thin-centered ideology” Peter C. Grosvenor (Nations and Nationalism) “a party needs a cohesive philosophical outlook, one that can guide it in constructing a political programme and making difficult choices between priorities as they arise … [for Plaid Cymru] that is easier said than done and Sandry’s book tells you why” John Osmond (Planet)
