Neighbours from Hell?: Patron Saint of Wales

Autor Mike Parker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2007
From Anne Robinson to the Act of Union, this work looks at English attitudes to the Welsh. It explores stereotypes such as the Welsh character (shifty or oversexed); the Welsh language (dead or ugly), and the landscape. It examines policy decisions sacrificing communities to reservoirs, forestry and military ranges.
