PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Robin Okey is an emeritus professor of history at Warwick University.
"""An astonishing book that argues, despite much noise to the contrary, that Wales was, is and will be a nation. However, the way it became a nation differed from the continental European model, and by comparing Wales with Slovenia, Robin Okey shows that while nationalism is a singular noun it is indeed a plural experience.""-- ""Dr Simon Brooks, Swansea University"" ""This is a brilliantly original analysis of the formation of the modern Welsh nation during the long nineteenth century. Okey presents this process in a sustained comparison with another small ethnic group, the Slovenes, and vindicates that choice by illumination of a series of similarities based on his intimate acquaintance with the history of that South Slav people. There are differences too - above all the Welsh national project, expressed through religious Nonconformity and political Liberalism as the willing associate of a hegemonic and officially monoglot Great Britain, contrasting with the Slovene equivalent which maneuvered within the troubled multilingual polity of the Habsburgs. Enhanced by Okey's jargon-free style, this book is equally revealing in its unusual perspective on the two incongruent empires, British and Austrian, within which his story unfolds."" -- ""Emeritus Regius Professor Robert Evans, University of Oxford"""
