Overview

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.
