Global Politics of Welsh Patagonia

Meer over het boek

Challenging romanticized views of the Welsh Patagonian settlement, this book utilizes archival sources in multiple languages to reveal the intricate human dynamics within the colony. It disrupts the narrative of Welsh-Indigenous friendship by emphasizing Indigenous experiences and presenting overlooked accounts. A novel framework explores the themes of possession, racialization, and assimilation, examining Wales's dual role as both colonized and colonizer. Additionally, it analyzes contemporary cultural representations, highlighting their influence on persistent racial stereotypes and emphasizing the importance of decolonial discourse in settler origin countries like Wales.
