Product Description

This book explores the process by which the French Basque country acquired a folkloric regional identity in the long nineteenth century. It argues that, despite originating in pre-‘modern’ customs, such stereotypical identity was invented in the long nineteenth century as part of France’s process of nation-building. -- .
