Fascinating paper! It's particularly interesting to see a non-state capacity justification for the persistence of distinct Basque and Catalonian identities in Spain vs. Occitanian identities in France.
I found this interesting and suggestive. It is a shame there isn't a comparison with the pre-industrial cultural provinces identified by Phythian-Adams (as Day did in their paper) or more engagement with P-A's model of how cultural provinces were formed in Britain.
Absolutely fascinating example how of economic globalization and the erasure of local culture far precedes the 20th century. It's criminal how few subscribers this blog has.
