Publisher's Synopsis
Unique and timely, this book explores the relationship between Wales and Islam through a compilation of writings by Welsh authors in both languages. Taking in a range of literature and attitudes--from the crusades of the Middle Ages through present day, including the publication of the controversial cartoons of Mohammed in a Welsh magazine--this account is a comprehensive literary commentary on social and cultural change. Incorporating memoirs, letters from missionaries, military diaries and journals, hymns, poems, and travel writing, this account offers insight into the relationship of two very distinct cultures.
