Synopsis

Wales - The First and Final Colony is a collection of essays and speeches by Adam Price, leader of Plaid Cymru and one of the great thinkers in Welsh politics, bringing together in one book his writings over the course of 25 years. In it, he writes on many aspects of the politics, history and culture of Wales. It includes some of his most famous speeches to the House of Commons and his rousing speech at Harvard University. The title essay on the history and colonisation of Wales is a great assessment of the current Welsh situation, and in this book he offers ideas for securing a brighter future for Wales. The book is an attempt to add some depth and weight to the growing debate over the viability of Welsh independence.
