Wales and Welshness

The dynamics of diversity

What does it mean to be Welsh and who gets to decide, not least in Wales? Is the sense of Wales and of Welshness changing? And where do England and the English fit into the picture? Christine Trevett considers these and other questions, along with history, language, tall hats, rugby, eisteddfodau, and second homes.
