  • More about Social and Cultural Change in Contemporary Wales

The book "Social and Cultural Change in Contemporary Wales" (1978) provides a comprehensive overview of social and cultural changes in Wales, highlighting relative social deprivation, the erosion of the Welsh language, and divisions based on class.

Format: Hardback
Length: 294 pages
Publication date: 04 October 2023
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


The book "Social and Cultural Change in Contemporary Wales" (1978) is a comprehensive exploration of recent research specifically focused on Wales, aimed at challenging the overly English perspectives on the 'social structure of modern Britain.' It identifies a pattern of relative social deprivation in the region, manifested by various symptoms such as second home ownership, school closures, economic peripheralization, and inadequate social services. These indicators serve as markers of Wales's marginalization within the United Kingdom.

One significant cultural marker highlighted in the book is the Welsh language, which is discussed in several papers. The papers explore the erosion of the Welsh language and the measures taken to preserve and maintain it. The authors emphasize the importance of the language as a cultural asset and a means of identity for the Welsh people.

While ethnicity plays a role in integrating the Welsh society, the book also acknowledges divisions based on class. The authors examine the social and economic factors that contribute to these divisions and their impact on Welsh society. They explore the challenges faced by working-class individuals and the efforts made to address social inequality and promote social mobility.

Overall, "Social and Cultural Change in Contemporary Wales" provides a rich and detailed account of the social and cultural dynamics in Wales during the late 20th century. It offers valuable insights into the patterns of deprivation, the preservation of the Welsh language, and the complexities of class divisions in the region. The book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the social and cultural landscape of Wales.
