Forjando nación desde abajo: violencia e identidades en el País Vasco y el Ulster1/Making the Nation from below: Violence and Identities in the Basque Country and Ulster

In Northern Ireland, the population has been classified into different communities following political/ religious categories. Scholars, as well as the people in general, have usually compared the situation in the Basque Country with that existing in Ulster. In this article, the researchers explore whether Basque society might be classified using the kind of categories valid for the Northern Irish, asking to what extent does Northern Ireland's nationalism reflect the same kind of political-religious communities prevailing in the Basque Country. In order to find an answer, they focus on the evolution of radical nationalist groups in the Basque Country, Spain, the UK and Ireland in the second half of the twentieth century.
