Description: "The late Professor Phil Williams, who died whilst this book was in production, explores the cross currents of a fractured sensibility that challenge our policy makers in the Assembly Government. Most quoted, of course, is the divide between north and south. Yet he concludes that the distance between them is largely psychological, simply because their peoples so seldom meet. In respect of other divides, for instance between the poorer communities of Wales and those that are more prosperous, the physical distance is often very small. Without being fully conscious of such divisions we will have no chance of addressing them."--BOOK JACKET.
