The provincial culture in the formation of the leonesa identity

Abstract

The revolutionary process opened in the 30’s became provinces and city councils, reformed under liberal criterias, in fundamental spaces for citizenship development, within the liberal state. This work investigates the behaviour of the leonesa provincial community in that process of the new liberal state’s construction, trying to evaluate the contents of the leones provincialism and how the elements of the present and the past are modulated until ending in regionalist proposal.
