Mebyon Kernow & Cornish Nationalism is the first book to fully address the issue of political nationalism in Cornwall.
It traces the growth of a Cornish national consciousness through the twentieth century, to the foundation of Mebyon Kernow (the Party for Cornwall) in 1951 and its evolution from a cultural pressure group into a fully-fledged political party.
Comprehensively researched using a range of primary sources and interviews with key figures within the party; Deacon, Cole and Tregidga’s ground-breaking study chronicles Mebyon Kernow’s role within Cornwall’s wider national movement and the increasing growth in support for Cornish self-government.
Bernard Deacon is a retired former Senior Lecturer in Cornish Studies and History at the Institute of Cornish Studies, Dick Cole is Leader of Mebyon Kernow and an elected member of Cornwall Council, and Garry Tregidga is Assistant Director of the Institute of Cornish Studies.
