Discursos sobre la integración La inmigración al País Vasco en los años 1950-1970

Abstract

Migrants from Spain to the Basque Country between 1950 and 1980 brought about a massivechange in demographics: by the mid seventies natives with autochthonous parents accounted forhalf the population. The political context in which said migratory movement developed gave rise to anongoing debate in Basque society on the integration of these migrants. This article aims at analysing thesubjective integration of said migrants, that is, the migrants’ own perception of this process. It wouldappear that migrants underline the social dimension of the integration, over and above political andcultural aspects.
