'Global Politics of Welsh Patagonia' - by Lucy Taylor

This book explores the complexity of settler-Indigenous relations in the Welsh-Patagonian colony, and examines how they shape Welsh society today.   Inspired by decolonial thinking, this book challenges romantic images of Y Wladfa - the Welsh Patagonian settlement founded in 1865.  With information taken from archival sources written in Spanish, Welsh, and English, it exposes the complex human relationships of this settler colony and disrupts the myth of Welsh-Indigenous friendships. 

The author Lucy Taylor is a senior lecturer at the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University.
