The Future of Wales

VICE columnist, freelance journalist and proud Welshman Rhys Thomas considers the future of Wales in this wide-ranging, deeply researched and passionate volume in Melville House UK's new series, FUTURES. Wales is a nation of contradictions. It boasts incredible natural resources and crushing poverty; fierce patriotism and a stark north/south divide; an energy surplus, and some of the highest bills in the UK. It also has a famously rugby-mad culture - but its football team are lighting up international tournaments. So what''s going on? And how might Wales look in decades to come? Rhys Thomas hails from Laugharne - the village on which, it is rumoured, Dylan Thomas based Under Milk Wood''s ''Llareggub'' (read it backwards). In this affectionate investigation into his home country - via Welsh geography, food, culture and sport - he aims for the heart of its contrasts. In doing so, Thomas builds a mosaic-like image of how Wales looks today - and how it might look in the future.
