Description

A Tolerant Nation? Revisiting Ethnic Diversity in a Devolved Wales by Charlotte Williams, Neil Evans and Paul O'Leary explores the complex history of immigration in Wales. From the industrial revolution to contemporary times, this volume examines how diverse groups have shaped the country's population, including Irish people, sailors from around the world, and refugees fleeing oppression. The book considers the reception of these immigrants, as well as the impact of Welsh attitudes towards minorities, which have been influenced by the activity of missionaries in the British Empire. It also looks at the implications of this diverse population for social policy, including in rural Wales. The authors engage with the changing patterns of immigration and its effects on communities, such as the achievements of minority groups in sport and building multi-racial communities. First published in 2015, this revised edition responds to changes over a decade later, with new chapters and extensive revisions that explore the impact of devolution on policy in Wales.
