A collection of Raymond Williams's writings on Welsh culture, literature, history and politics. The editor seeks to collect material that has been overlooked, and emphasizes the centrality of his Welshness to Williams's work, and the continuing relevance of his thought for post-devolution Wales.
Who Speaks for Wales? is the first collection of Raymond Williams' writings on Welsh culture, literature, history and politics. It brings together material that has long been overlooked by commentators on his work, and emphasises both the centrality of his Welshness to his work as a whole, and the continuing relevance of his thought for post-devolution Wales. Daniel Williams's introduction offers an original reading of Raymond Williams's career from a Welsh perspective and underlines the ways in which his engagement with Welsh issues makes a significant contribution to contemporary debates on nation, race and class. Who Speaks for Wales? will be essential reading for everyone interested in questions of identity, nationhood and ethnicity in Britain and beyond.

Daniel G. Williams is Professor of English and Director of the Richard Burton Centre for the Study of Wales at Swansea University. He is the author of Black Skin, Blue Books: African Americans and Wales (2012) and Ethnicity and Cultural Authority: from Arnold to Du Bois (2006). Professor Raymond Williams was a Welsh novelist, academic and critic. His writings on politics, culture, the mass media and literature made significant contributions to the Marxist critique of arts and culture.
