Putting Wales First (eBook, ePUB)

The Political Thought of Plaid Cymru (Volume 1)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This authoritative book traces the development of Plaid Cymru's political thought from its birth in 1924-5 to the establishment of the National Assembly for Wales in 1999. Through a penetrating study of the political beliefs of its most important leaders - Saunders Lewis, Gwynfor Evans, Dafydd Elis-Thomas and Dafydd Wigley - we follow the party's emergence from the political fringe to the threshold of a devolved Wales. The development of Plaid Cymru's constitutional and economic policies are examined in detail, as well as its attitude towards the Welsh language. A vibrant discussion on the nature of nationalism and nationalist ideas locates the party's intellectual development in a broader international context. This is a book that reveals Plaid Cymru in a new and sometimes controversial light.
