Museums, Nations, Identities

Llyfr diddorol sy'n bwrw golwg ar y ffyrdd amrywiol y cyfleir Cymru a Chymreictod yn amgueddfeydd cenedlaethol Cymru. Archwilir y modd y bu ac y mae canghennau yr Amgueddfeydd a'r Orielau Cenedlaethol yn darparu hanes ar bynciau penodol, ond yn osgoi rhai eraill, a sut y mae hynny'n perthyn i'r ffyrdd cynfnewidiol y mae hunaniaeth Gymreig yn cael ei dehongli.

' ... clearly based on extensive, meticulous, thoughtful research and will be a major contribution to our understanding of a much neglected field.' J. Graham Jones, National Library of Wales'Mason's book is clearly written and devoid of jargon, making it accessible to all of the major audiences intended for this book. Those who have visited one of the museums she analyzes will gain a greater appreciation for what these museums provide, and it makes those who have not gone to any of the branches of the National Museum of Wales look forward to a time when they can indeed go.'Richard Haesly, Nation and Nationalism, Volume 14, Number 3, July 2008
