Abstract

In this historical essay we study the historiographical making of the concept of Basque Pluralism as a means of explaining Contemporary Basque Country and its multiple civic and political problems. This historical concept was developed by a new generation of historians and social theorists in the time of the Spanish Transition to Democracy and it has obtained an important success in the political and mediatic discourse. We discuss here its scientific viability as a narrative of the Basque past and its political implications as a historical tool to be placed in the public debate on violence and nationalism. Regarding Basque Pluralismwe intend to expose the tight relationship among biography, collective memory and historical writing in the Spanish and Basque historiography, specially that specialized in issues concerning nationalism and political violence.
