Between Region and Nation: Reimagining Basque Identity Within the French Nation-State, 1780-1870
The paper will explore the birth and development of an idea of region in the French Basque country in the aftermath of the French Revolution, thus countering the frequent view that regionalism, as a cultural phenomenon, was born in the late nineteenth century. It will argue both for the persistence of a specific ancien-régime style of localism in post-Revolutionary France and for the evolution of such localism into a new stereotyped regional identity.
