Yet beneath the surface of this idea lies another story—at the same time just as interesting and often even more dramatic than its traditionally more esteemed parallel. This is what has come to be known as a “local” story, part of a burgeoning trend of other histories that seek to strengthen that most human of desires—the desire to belong to a collective past predating the cultural homog- enization implied by globalization. Today, amid this blurring of international cultural, economic, and polit- ical boundaries, people are increasingly turning to local culture as a means of defining their group identity. I would advocate that the fortunes of the Basque Country (or Euskal Herria as it is termed in Basque), an ancient, small country tucked away in a corner of western Europe, offer historians just as much insight into the meaning of modern European history as the more widely known events of the large European states. Modern Basque history is replete with all the drama of the modern period, beginning with the French Revolu- tion and its effects on Basque society and traversing the industrial and urban changes of the nineteenth century through to the twentieth-century phenomena of war and totalitarianism. I would similarly argue that the Basque historical experience—especially the seemingly illogical survival of the Basque language and its associated cul- tural forms—offers those of us from historically more Late nineteenth-century couple from Gipuzkoa. The rural Basque figure was appropriated by Basque nation- alists as a timeless symbol of the Basque essence. By permission of Editorial Iparaguirre, S.A. archives. Introduction á 9 —— — — — — powerful cultural backgrounds an important lesson in comprehending the tenacity of smaller cultures within our globalizing world. In the following chapters, I will attempt to tell the story of the modern Basque Country while at the same time raising more general questions about the nature of history itself and the meaning of Europe, as well as issues such as how and why historical change takes place and the myriad ways in which culture drives his- tory. hat, then, of history? A sense of the past is cen- W tral to what it means to be human. We define our- selves, in many ways, through our relationship with the past. History, memory, and individual or group aware- ness of the past thus shape and sometimes even deter- mine the present. The central problem for historians, however, as the noted historian Eric Hobsbawm observes, is to analyze this sense of the past in society and to trace its changes and transformations.1 But do history and memory alone guarantee that what we think happened in the past did in fact take place? The past is, in real terms, gone, and at best history can only re- create what it thinks took place. We cannot verify it through experiment, nor can we physically visit it.2 Thus we are left with the difficult task of attempting to re-create something that we can never truly be sure took place. Lest we think that a historical exploration of the sort we are about to embark on is doomed to a sense of uncertainty, let us affirm the benefits of an investigation of this type: In an account of critical historical investiga- tion remarkable for its clarity and contemporary rele- vance, the fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldûn observed that history ultimately involves an attempt to get at the truth, the subtle explanation of the causes and origins of things, and a profound understanding of the how and why of things.3 The following assumptions underlie the theoretical structure of the study of Basque history undertaken here: 1. We should think and talk about the particular events, objects, and texts we examine within the temporal context of change. That is, we should always be aware of the time frame of our subject matter and what (if indeed anything) changes within this time frame. 2. We should analyze our subject matter within a broad context. Whereas a literary analyst might let a text stand alone in terms of their investigation, for example, the historian must relate the text to other objects around it at that same point in time. Ulti- mately the subject of the text should fit into the overall object of understanding linear time through the rubric of change.4 It is also vital to clarify at least working definitions (how- ever subject to change they might be) of the key terms and concepts of this historical account. If any two words stand out immediately in an exploration of modern Basque history, they are nation and state. Throughout the time period studied here, Euskal Herria has been, according to many perspectives, a nation without a state (with state authority residing in France and Spain). nthony Smith defines a nation, or at least the ideal A aspired to by many nationalists, as a “named com- munity of history and culture, possessing a unified terri- tory, economy, mass education system and common legal rights.”5 As this definition applies to an ideal, he continues, many nations may lack one or more of these characteristics, but as the nation can never be a once- and-for-all, all-or-nothing concept, this should not Introduction á 11 —— — — — — obstruct what effectively constitutes a national basis. Smith then makes a statement of particular relevance to the present work: “historical nations are ongoing processes.”6 This idea tells us much about the nature of history, measured in many ways as the process of change through time. The second major point to Smith’s conception of the nation is that it cannot exist ex nihilo—it cannot appear as if by magic without at least some favorable elements in its social environment that encourage the ongoing process. Most significant among these is the existence of an ethnic community—a social group that historically has shared certain cultural attributes.

DIEGO MURO King’s College London ALEJANDRO QUIROGA London School of Economics ABSTRACT In recent years, it has been a common complaint among scholars to acknowledge the lack of research on Spanish nationalism. This article addresses the gap by giving an historical overview of ‘ethnic’ and ‘civic’ Spanish nationalist discourses during the last two centuries. It is argued here that Spanish nationalism is not a unified ideology but it has, at least, two varieties. During the 19th-century, both a ‘liberal’ and a ‘conservative-traditionalist’ nationalist discourse were formu- lated and these competed against each other for hegemony within the Spanish market of ideas.

  • The Mexican-American Press and the Spanish Civil War”
    Abraham Lincoln Brigades Archives (ALBA) Submission for George Watt Prize, Graduate Essay Contest, 2020. Name: Carlos Nava, Southern Methodist University, Graduate Studies. Chapter title: Chapter 3. “The Mexican-American Press and The Spanish Civil War” Word Count: 8,052 Thesis title: “Internationalism In The Barrios: Hispanic-Americans and The Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939.” Thesis abstract: The ripples of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) had a far-reaching effect that touched Spanish speaking people outside of Spain. In the United States, Hispanic communities –which encompassed Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Mexicans, Spaniards, and others— were directly involved in anti-isolationist activities during the Spanish Civil War. Hispanics mobilized efforts to aid the Spanish Loyalists, they held demonstrations against the German and Italian intervention, they lobbied the United States government to lift the arms embargo on Spain, and some traveled to Spain to fight in the International Brigades. This thesis examines how the Spanish Civil War affected the diverse Hispanic communities of Tampa, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Against the backdrop of the war, this paper deals with issues regarding ethnicity, class, gender, and identity. It discusses racism towards Hispanics during the early days of labor activism. It examines ways in which labor unions used the conflict in Spain to rally support from their members to raise funds for relief aid. It looks at how Hispanics fought against American isolationism in the face of the growing threat of fascism abroad. CHAPTER 3. THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN PRESS AND THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR During the Spanish Civil War, the Mexican-American press in the Southwest stood apart from their Spanish language counterparts on the East Coast.

In the Basque Country, 1895 marked the birth of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party), concurrent with the development of the cultural nationalist movement known as the ‘Gaelic revival’ in pre-revolutionary Ireland. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended with the destruction of the Spanish Second Republic, plunging Basque nationalism into decades of intense persecution. Conversely, at this same time, Irish nationalist aspirations were realized to an unprecedented degree during the ‘republicanization’ of the Irish Free State under Irish leader Éamon de Valera.
