«El bucle melancólico» is Jon Juaristi's essay on the history of Basque nationalism, published by Espasa in paperback (430 pages, in Spanish).
Essay tracing the history of Basque nationalism and the abertzale movement from its origins to the «spirit of Ermua». Juaristi reveals the melancholic loop: the drift of nationalist ideology toward a religion of race that perpetuates a prefabricated enemy. It covers Ermua's response to the murder of Miguel Ángel Blanco in 1997.
Part of the Austral Collection (no. 485). Winner of the Espasa Essay Prize (1997), the National Essay Prize (1998) and the Fastenrath Prize (2000).
Aimed at readers interested in the political history of the Basque Country, nationalism and ideological critique essays.
