Book excerpt: "Mebyon Kernow - the Party for Cornwall has been at the forefront of the campaign for Cornish self-government for over 50 years. This is the first book to fully address the issues of political nationalism in Cornwall. It traces the growth of a Cornish national consciousness throughout the twentieth century, the foundation of MK in 1951 and its evolution from a cultural pressure group into a fully-fledged political party. Based on a range of primary sources and interviews, this book investigates Mebyon Kernow's role within the wider Cornish movement, which also generated two breakaway political parties, a revived medieval institution of self-government, a range of short-lived pressure groups and, most recently, 50,000 individual declarations calling for a Cornish Assembly." -- BACK COVER.
