Above all, he is an intellectual adventurer, always disposed to run the risks inherent in juxtaposing sweeping longue durée historical patterns to yesterday’s and today’s news items. In this way, he is able to discern patterns in the seemingly chaotic and idiosyncratic nation-building process of different periods and places. He has thereby provided us with frameworks within which to situate our particular interests and case studies. This chapter seeks to employ Walker’s eclectic and adventuresome approach in an attempt to understand the controversial racialist discourse associated with Basque nationalism, and particularly during its foundational phase in the late nineteenth century. The movement’s founder, Sabino de Arana y Goiri (1865–1903),1 has indeed been customarily accused by his adversaries of being a racist. While, as we shall see, there is more than enough evidence to support the charge, many critics simply used...

It presents an overview of Basque prehistory, linguistics, and anthropology of society and culture. It is illustrated in part by their personal experiences in field research. The co-authors, William A. Douglass and Joseba Zulaika have both served as directors of the Center for Basque Studies of the University of Nevada, Reno, and have co-published on occasion. This volume is a textbook, intended both for the classroom and in on-line instruction.

These include maintenance of the Basque language and identity, the attitude of Basques towards others, notably Spaniards and gypsies, and vice versa, and the survival of Basque rural life in the face of the many challenges to it. Karmen Etxalarkoa Pastorala is but the most recent recounting of the tragedy of Carmen, the quintessential gypsy of Prosper Merimée’s novel and Bizet’s opera. In the work, she claims descent from the Navarrese village of Etxalar, and her ill-fated lover, José Lizarrabengoa, is from the adjacent Valley of Baztan. I interweave my own mid-twentieth-century anthropological research in Etxalar with the biographies of local residents and that of the pastorale’s author, Gerardo Mungia, as a ploy for narrating the genesis and significance of Karmen Etxala...
