- Summary:
- A critical examination of the diverse Welsh experiences of community, this book examines rural and urban, traditional and alternative, and inward and outward migrations. The essays advocate a contemporary theoretical approach to the study of communities. Each essay is based on original ethnographic research, using methods that involve a long-term and comparatively intimate relationship between researchers and their research subjects and locales. Contributors explore how different groups symbolically construct and experience "community" on a day-to-day basis.
