Tad y Wladva: Daucanmlwyddiant Michael D. Jones

Bydd Dr Dafydd Tudur yn ein cyflwyno i'r person sydd wedi’i gysylltu fwyaf â’r bennod ryfeddol a dadleuol hon yn hanes Cymru a’r Ariannin.

Bydd Dafydd yn mynd â ni ar daith i dri chyfandir, gan amlinellu’r trafodaethau, y gweithgareddau a’r digwyddiadau a arweiniodd at sefydlu’r Wladfa Gymreig ym Mhatagonia. Wrth wneud hynny, bydd yn trafod rôl a chyfraniad Michael D. Jones i’r fenter, ei weledigaeth a’i obeithion ar gyfer y Wladfa, a’i safbwyntiau ar hunaniaeth, imperialaeth a choloneiddio.

Cynhelir y digwyddiad hwn mewn partneriaeth â Chymdeithas Cymru-Ariannin.

On the date that the first contingent of settlers sailed to Patagonia in 1865 and to mark the bicentenary of Michael Daniel Jones, Dr Dafydd Tudur introduces the figure most associated with this fascinating and controversial chapter in the history of Wales and Argentina.

Dafydd will take us on a journey to three continents, outlining the discussions, activities and events that led to the founding of the Welsh colony in Patagonia. In doing so, he’ll discuss Michael D. Jones's role and contribution to the venture, his vision and hopes for the Welsh colony, and his perspectives on identity, imperialism and colonization.

This event is held in partnership with the Wales-Argentina Society.
