By Manuel Roig-Franzia Manuel Roig-Franzia Feature reporter Email Bio Follow Reporter March 21 at 2:55 PM In May last year, the blood-soaked Basque separatist group, ETA, announced to the relief of millions that it finally had disbanded.
ETA, which stands for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna — a phrase that means “Homeland and Liberty” in the Basque language — looms heavy in village life. Through threats, extortion and public shaming, the group attempts to enforce political, ideological and linguistic purity. “They would start speaking in Basque, switch to Spanish, go back to Basque, that way all afternoon,” Aramburu writes.
Readers looking for a deeper comprehension — or even a justification — for ETA’s armed campaign will surely be disappointed. Miren’s passion for the Basque separatist cause is amplified by the decision of her son, Joxe Mari, to join the armed struggle of ETA. When Joxe Mari is named as a “dangerous terrorist” in a television report, his sister — Arantxa — gets a phone call from an old friend: to congratulate her.
