Epilogue Americanization & Welsh Identity
Epilogue Americanization & Welsh Identity
In conclusion, this book discusses the reasons why most Welsh emigrants went to America—and it was not to preserve their Welsh identity. They did, however, transplant much of their culture with them. As time passed, however, the old ways were bound to experience the flux of memory. “There is strange how things come back if you start to think of one thing and become tangled up in memory,” mused Huw Morgan, the narrator in Richard Llewellyn's ever-popular novel How Green Was My Valley. “Sometimes you think of a thing, and it reminds you of something else, but nearly always you forget why it should remind you, and you find you have forgotten the link between them,” adds Morgan.
