Williams dr nerys (6 résultats)

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This sequence of 80 prose-poems, each constructed in 20 sentences, has arisen from the authors need to tell a more intimate history, to commit an untold oral history to paper. Williams returns to the meaning of republic in its Latin origins which meant wealth of the people. The explosion of the arts and culture looms large, through bands from New Order to My Bloody Valentine, but it is explored specifically through Cwl Cymru, and the power of Welsh-language bands like Datblygu. This story is also about class, as we explore a family history of hard work in jobs from retail to caregiving. There are stories told, overheard, handed down, sometimes translated from Welsh. Together, they create an expansive portrait of the era, including the challenges for women, Welsh-speakers, and other marginalized groups. Ferocious remarks about the Welsh in the popular media are dissected with satirical humour and appalled fascination, while other poems describe being a token woman and political outsider on a TV current affairs show panel, tolerated but ostracized. Now, Williams poses the possibilities of a nation looking back at itself and its history from afar. Wales has not been allowed to be a republic, but is subject to a state that has military claims on its landscape and a second home explosion which has a severe impact on its communities. There is rebellion to be found in the older meaning of republic: since the wealth of the people is a wealth of sounded stories, culture, art, and history. Republic tells the story of a young Welsh woman growing up in the 1980s and 90s, following a boom in politics, culture and Cwl Cymru. Stories told, overheard, and handed down create an expansive portrait of the era, including the challenges for women, Welsh-speakers, and other marginalised groups.
