To the outside world, for some half a century, the words 'Basque
Country' have provoked an almost instant association with the
Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA, Basque Homeland and Liberty) separatist
group and violent conflict. The Basque Contention: Ethnicity,
Politics, Violence attempts to undo this simplistic correlation
and, for the first time, provide a definitive history of the wider
political issues at the heart of the Basque Country. Drawing on
three decades of research on Basque nationalism, Ludger Mees weaves
together the various historical and contemporary strands of this
contention: from the late medieval kingdoms of Spain and France and
the first articulations of a Basque ethno-particularism, to the
dissolution of ETA in 2018, and all manner of dictatorships,
conflict, peace, civil war, political intrigue, hope and failure
in-between. For anyone who has ever wanted to gain an insight into
the Basque Country beyond the headlines of ETA and grasp the
complexity of its relationship with Spain, France and indeed
itself, this volume provides a detailed, yet digestible, basis for
such an understanding.
