A propos de ce titre

Présentation de l'éditeur:

By the author of the acclaimed In Search of Welshness, this book takes an in-depth look at the state of our nation, at Welsh national identity and at what exactly it is that leads to so many Welsh exiles feeling they need to rediscover their roots and eventually return home. It poses questions that Wales's politicians and leaders need to grapple with. 29 photographs.

What is it that drives so many Welsh exiles to return to their homeland later in life? Is it family responsibilities or economic necessity? Or is it love of the very land itself, nostalgia, longing for Welsh community life, its language and culture, its socialist values? Or is there something even more mysterious at work - the indefinable, intangible sentiment summed up by the Welsh word hiraeth? This new book by Peter Daniels sets out to answer those questions as the author explores the attitudes and motivations of a group of exiles who have returned to live in Wales to rediscover their roots.
