Modern Basque History, Eighteenth Century to the Present

By Cameron J. Watson and Cameron Watson

In this entry in the Basque Textbook Series, author Cameron Watson presents an overview of the history of the Basque country from the 18th century onwards. Tracing French and Spanish Basque lands through the French Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and the genesis of the European Union, Watson insistently brings questions of how we compose and articulate history to the forefront -- as well as a healthy scrutiny of representations of Basqueness which continue to inform Basque identities. A terrific and accessible primer on the history of Basques and the Basque Country for interested readers, this highly readable book is an appropriate classroom read as well.
