*Please distribute accordingly. Sorry for cross-posting* Dear Colleagues, I would like to share with you the publication of my latest book, “The Basque Diaspora Webscape: Identity, Nation and Homeland, 1990s-2010s” (Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada, 2013; ISBN: 978-1-935709-41-1, paperback, 272 pages, illustrations). This book engages questions central to the study of diasporas and digital technologies, by analyzing the Basque case in depth. It is about how one diaspora group, the Basques are using the Internet to preserve its identity and culture. It also examines the way Basques in the diaspora are using the Internet to create online communities and a kind of digital nationalism that links all Basques, whether living in the contemporary homeland or scattered around the world, into a single self-identifying people. The research focuses particularly on the websites created and maintained by Basque social and benevolent organizations in sixteen countries in North and South America, Australia, and Western Europe, prior to the popularization of the so-called Social or Collaborative Web or Web 2.0. That is to say, the book examines the ways these websites represent the organizations of which they are a part, and the ways they depict Basque culture, homeland, nationhood, identity, and political aspirations.
