Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Er 1939 gwelwyd newidiadau cyflymach a phwysicach nag a welwyd mewn unrhyw gyfnod arall yn hanes Cymru. Bellach mae gan Gymru ei hunaniaeth unigryw. Er hyn, nid yw ei heconomi wedi ffynnu gydol yr amser, mae ei chymunedau traddodiadol wedi'u trawsffurfio ac mae'r iaith Gymraeg wedi'i thanseilio.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
The period since 1939 has seen more rapid and significant change than any other time in Welsh history. Wales has developed a more assertive identity of its own and some of the apparatus of a nation state. Yet its economy has floundered between boom and bust, its traditional communities have been transformed and the Welsh language has been undermined by a globalizing world.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Wales has also been deeply divided by class, language, ethnicity, gender, religion and region. Its people have grown wealthier, healthier and more educated but they have not always been happier. This ground-breaking book examines the story of Wales since 1939, giving voice to ordinary people and the variety of experiences within the nation. This is a history of not just a nation, but of its residents’ hopes and fears, their struggles and pleasures and their views of where they live and the wider world.
