Wales for Beginners presents the results of research for and during the Wales Study Tour, Sept. 4 - 12, 1999.
 
How intensely do people living in Wales actually identify with Wales and textbook things Welsh, nonconformist chapels, male voice choirs, rugby? We looked at "inner" and "outer" Wales and the country's demografic, infrastructural and geographic diversity and other divisions to be able to describe and understand the difficult background of devolution and cultural diversity in a small country.
