Las Raíces Sociales del Nacionalismo Vasco (in Spanish)
Alfonso Pérez-Agote Poveda
Synopsis "Las Raíces Sociales del Nacionalismo Vasco (in Spanish)"
Este libro representa un intento de explorar las raíces sociales de un fenómeno político. El nacionalismo vasco es presentado como un caso de identidad colectiva política. Partiendo de una teoría sobre la identidad colectiva, el nacionalismo vasco es estudiado tanto durante el periodo franquista como en el democrático posterior. Sin embargo, el sector más radical, la llamada izquierda abertzale, definió la situación desde la muerte de Franco en términos de "nada ha cambiado, la violencia debe seguir". Siguieron y siguen pensando que nada importante ha cambiado con la democracia. Esta profecía les hace comportarse en forma similar a como tenían que hacerlo durante el franquismo. La profecía se auto-cumple para ellos pues el estado les persigue, pero este auto-cumplimiento necesita de la progresiva incomunicación con el exteriorThis book represents an attempt to explore the social roots of a political phenomenon. Basque nationalism is presented as a case of political collective identity. Based on a theory of collective identity, Basque nationalism is studied both during the Franco regime and in the subsequent democratic era. However, the most radical sector, known as the izquierda abertzale (nationalist Left), defined the situation following Franco's death in terms of "nothing has changed, the violence must go on", and they still maintain that nothing important has changed under democracy. This prophecy makes them behave in much the same way as they were forced to do during Francoism. The prophecy is self-fulfilling inasmuch as the State persecutes them, but this self-fulfilment requires progressive isolation from the outside world.
