Patricia Elton Mayo argues that the drive for national self-determination is deeply embedded in cultural, linguistic, and historical consciousness, illustrating this through detailed case studies of Welsh, Basque, and Breton nationalist movements. The subtitle — rendered on the cover in Welsh, Basque, and Breton — itself underscores the book's central thesis: that language and heritage are inseparable from political identity. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible prose, the work presents a nuanced analysis of how minority nations within larger European states pursue recognition and autonomy. It remains a significant contribution to the study of sub-state nationalism and the enduring tension between regional identity and centralised governance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888016765147,"sku":"2026200009590-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/59baeed7-8519-423d-9069-ff89ea6537bd.png?v=1781752931","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009590-secondhand-the-roots-of-identity-three-national-movements-in-contemporary-european-politics","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
