Ribera de Navarra y euskera, siglo XX. Histora de un encuentro insoslayable [Nafarroako Erribera eta euskara, XX. mendean. Nahitaezko elkartze baten historia]

Abstract

A review of the relationship which Navarre’s Ribera region has maintained with the Basque language and Basque culture from the early 20th century –outlining some background from the 19th century and even earlier– to the modern day. Aspects such as the presence of people from the Ribera in the pro-Basque associations of the pre-war period, the presence of the Basque language in the Ribera through religious orders, the role of the Ribera in the pro-Basque resurgence of the post-war period and the situation of the Basque language and Basque culture at the start of the 21st century are addressed.
