About
In Cymru & I nine new writers look at what Wales means to them as people from backgrounds previously marginalized or excluded. Their kaleidoscopic viewpoints prove that the concept of 'Welshness' is broader, deeper, and far more nuanced than that portrayed in the mainstream. These unheard stories reflect the experiences of many, but such stories have too often been overlooked or ignored.
Here are essays on identity, integration, the power of language to welcome or divide, acceptance, personal aspiration, civic decline, and hill walking. Among the contributors are those who have sought sanctuary or space in Wales: immigrants – current and first or second generation – neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ and working-class people. Their articulate and compelling essays demand attention.
Cymru & I is made of nine very human stories about Wales and the many different kinds of Welshness it encompasses. The contributors are: Gosia Buzzanca, Tia-zakura Camilleri, Kelechi Ronald Ikpe, Mo Jannah, Bethany Mcaulay, Laura Mochan, Debowale Omole, Alys Roberts and Anthony Shapland.
