That the Basque people have preserved their ethnic identity and
sense of being a separate community, despite centuries of
repression, diaspora, and economic and social upheaval, is one of
the most remarkable achievements in the history of that phenomenon
we call nationalism. ""The Social Roots of Basque Nationalism""
examines the processes that maintained and even intensified Basque
nationalist political consciousness during the Franco years and the
subsequent democratization of Spain. This work is based in part on
a wide range of interviews and polls with informants in the Basque
Country and abroad, eliciting such data as the role that family,
education, and social and religious environment play in the
evolution of political attitudes; the place of violence in the
Basque world view and contemporary political culture; regional
variations in Basque nationalism; and the factors that contributed
to the resilience of Basque nationalism in adapting to new
historical conditions. The result is a sophisticated discussion of
the various ways in which Basque social reality is constituted and
how this reality helps to create political culture.
