Basque Country: History, Conflict and Society

By Ignacio Silvosa Terreros

To speak of the Basque Country is to speak of history, yes, but also of power, resistance, identity, and future. It is to speak of a land that has defied the passage of time without losing its uniqueness. Of a people who have lived through war, autonomy, exile, violence, and democracy as if they were stations on a single collective journey. In that sense, Basque Country: History, Conflict and SocietyIt's not just a history book. It's an emotional and political snapshot of what it means to be Basque throughout the centuries.

Ignacio Silvosa Terreros offers us a landmark work, monumental in scope and deeply committed in its approach. From feudal lineages to the generations born after the end of ETA, this work covers more than a thousand years of Basque history with a unique blend of academic rigor, expository clarity, and intellectual courage.

Each chapter of this work illuminates a decisive period: the fueros as a pact, the factional wars as a trauma, the memory of the victims as a moral debt. It also addresses the paradoxes of nationalism, its complex integration into the Spanish state, and a society's capacity to reinvent itself after decades of conflict.

In contrast to essentialist or partisan interpretations, this book defends a critical and open vision of a plural, mixed, and changing Basque Country. Its strength lies in its ability to unite the academic and the emotional, the political and the human.

A story told to understand, not to divide. A book that invites us to think, feel, and decide. And that, in these times, is much more than an achievement: it's a necessity.
