Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 1865, 153 Welsh emigrants landed on the coast of Patagonia with an extraordinary ambition: to create a Welsh-speaking society beyond the reach of English cultural and linguistic dominance.Y Wladfa tells the full, unvarnished history of that experiment - from its ideological origins in nineteenth-century Wales to its long, complex afterlife in modern Argentina.Drawing on Welsh, Argentine, and international scholarship, this book moves beyond romanticised heritage narratives to examine what Welsh Patagonia actually was. It explores the cultural anxieties that drove the project, the gulf between planning and geography, the harsh realities of settlement in the Chubut Valley, and the uneasy relationship between Welsh settlers, the Argentine state, and indigenous peoples whose land was being transformed.Rather than celebrating or condemning, this is a history that insists on clarity. It traces how Welsh language and institutions briefly flourished, how political autonomy quietly disappeared, and how identity survived through adaptation rather than isolation. It also confronts uncomfortable truths about settler colonialism, myth-making, and the limits of cultural preservation through emigration.Written for readers interested in Welsh history, diaspora studies, colonial history, and language survival, Y Wladfa presents Welsh Patagonia not as a legend, but as a case study in how ideals collide with power, geography, and time.This is not a story of triumph or failure - but of consequence. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 223 pages. Includes DVDOur Far South is packed with history and wildlife, and is renowned for its br eathtaking and photogenic beauty. But does our appreciation of the region run mo re than skin deep? Do Kiwis really understand how important the region is and wh at issues are facing it? In February 2012, Gareth Morgan trapped ten of New Zeal and's top experts on the region in a boat with 40 ordinary Kiwis for a month. To gether with Geoff Simmons, he grilled them about the issues facing the region an d Ice, Mice and Men is the result. What they found was startling. Our Far South - that part of New Zealand that extends from Stewart Island almost without inter ruption to the South Pole - harbours precious wildlife and is the engine room of the world's oceans and climate. We are blessed to live in this unique part of t he world, but we also have a huge responsibility to look after it. Ice, Mice and Men looks at the three ways we risk inflicting long-term, even permanent harm, on this precious and fragile region. The race to exploit resources has been unde rway for three centuries, and may be poised to escalate. Pressure from human act ivity may be threatening biodiversity and even the survival of species. And loom ing ever larger is the threat of climate change. Damage done to Our Far South wi ll have profound implications, both for New Zealand and right across the globe. Gareth Morgan is a well-known columnist, philanthropist and author. Geoff Simmon s is an economist for the Morgan Family Charitable Foundation and has previously worked for the New Zealand Treasury. He is also Co-Creative Director of the Wel lington Improvisation Troupe.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In July 1865, 153 Welsh emigrants landed on the coast of Patagonia with the explicit aim of establishing a Welsh-speaking community beyond the reach of English linguistic and cultural dominance. What followed was neither the utopian success imagined by organisers nor the outright failure that the colony's early crises appeared to foreshadow.This book presents a comprehensive, evidence-based history of Welsh Patagonia from the first landing in 1865 through to the present day. It examines how the settlement survived extreme environmental conditions, including aridity and flooding; how irrigation agriculture transformed the Lower Chubut Valley; and how institutions such as chapels, schools, and local governance sustained Welsh language and cultural life across generations. It also addresses the colony's complex and often uncomfortable relationships with Indigenous Tehuelche peoples and with the expanding Argentine state.Rejecting romanticised heritage narratives, this history confronts difficult realities directly. It acknowledges settler colonialism, indigenous dispossession, and the persistent gap between founding ideals and achievable outcomes. It traces the shift of Welsh from a community language to a heritage language, documents the gradual loss of political autonomy under Argentine nation-building, and explains why geographic isolation proved neither sustainable nor sufficient as a defence against linguistic assimilation.The book covers the full chronological arc of the settlement, including expansion into the Andean regions, transformation during the twentieth century, and contemporary efforts to preserve Welsh language and cultural presence. It draws on scholarly research, archival sources, and institutional records while remaining accessible to general readers.Written for readers seeking serious history rather than commemoration, this work will appeal to students, researchers, Welsh diaspora communities, and those interested in minority language survival, migration history, and the limits of cultural preservation through settlement.What emerges is neither celebration nor condemnation, but a clear-eyed assessment of what the Welsh Patagonian experiment achieved, what it failed to achieve, and what it reveals about culture, power, and endurance in a changing world.…
