Synopsis

The past two decades have seen big changes within the small nation of Wales. Our Changing Land examines what is distinctive about Wales and Welshness by exploring the role of men and women in Wales and of Wales itself as a nation, economy, and center of partially devolved governance. Dawn Mannay presents contributions by a range of Welsh scholars and artists from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to raise questions related to equality, social policy, and progression. Featuring photographic art and poetic verse that extend its central arguments, this book offers readers with an interest in Wales and Welsh life an accessible, current, and thought provoking account of the nation.

Review

Our Changing Land is a remarkable source of intellectual wealth. It not only provides a unique understanding of and insight to the current state of a wide range of issues affecting people living in Wales from poverty to poetry but also and innovatively links to the hopes and aspirations of our young people, weaving their words, pictures, and music into the book. Exploring the journey travelled during the last twenty years of political and economic change, the variety of data explored provokes both thought and emotion. This is a must-read for anyone concerned with the status and future of Wales.
