AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This work presents a detailed study of how nationalism, a complex and sometimes violent political phenomenon, created the present day Basque nation. In the historical analysis of her data the author discusses the relationship between the Basque country and the rest of Spain, the nature and evolution of the foral regime (the Basque traditional political system), the emergence and development of the Basque bourgeoisie, the economic and social evolution of the rural areas, and finally the process of industrialization in the country (p. xii). In recent years the Basque national movement has gradually moved from an urban to a more rural context. Part two of this source examines the phenomenon of nationalism in the rural 'village' of Elgeta in the province of Guipuzcoa. Here social organization and village politics are discussed in great detail and the attempt is made to show how these cultural elements have been integrated into the general overall patterns of the Basque national movement.
