Jenisjoplin
"The novel Jenisjoplin tells the story of Nagore Vargas, a rebel on a journey to find her identity and avenge her ancestors"--
Witches and Wily Women
A passionate and enlightened defense of noka, the second person familiar pronoun for a female addressee in the Basque language ("Euskera"), this book provides unique insights into Basque culture, language, and gender. These insights may otherwise be lost forever, as noka is disappearing from speech. Echeverria shows how noka became marginalized, and illustrates the vibrant sociolinguistic life noka has led over 500 hundred years of Basque history. By uncovering this rich legacy for the first time in one monograph, and contributing original lyrics using noka of her own, Echeverria hopes to increase awareness of noka and the surprising stories it tells--and perhaps revitalize noka use. In addition to specialists in Basque studies and endangered languages, this book's broad scope and unique methodological approach should interest readers in gender studies, folklore, folksong, linguistics, and anthropology.

The Bombing of Gernika
Few events in the history of the world have aroused the passions of the decent, the fair, the peaceful, and the just as much as the brutal terror bombing attack on the Basque town of Gernika. From the decision of the fascist forces to attack the open city, to the horror of the bombing, to its aftermath, this short history tells the terrible events that colored not only the modern history of the Basques, but of all of humanity as it ushered in a new age of warfare.
States of Terror
"States of Terror is the posthumous work by Begona Aretxaga (1960-2002). This volume includes most of her published and a few unpublished essays. At the time of her death, she was trying to complete the book manuscript States of Terror for which sex essays had already been published and three more were ready for publication. This volume gives some sense of unity to these scattered pieces."--BOOK JACKET.
The Basques of Lapurdi, Zuberoa, and Lower Navarre
Classic book on the Basques of Iparralde (French Basque Country) originally published in 1942, treating Basque history and culture in the region
The Toughest Kid We Knew
Frank Bergon’s newest work is a thoughtful exploration of the ways that memories of random childhood events become unexpected revelations about life in the West. In many senses this project is a personalized version of Two-Buck Chuck & The Marlboro Man where Bergon explored the ways that a multiethnic and multiracial society shaped, and continues to shape, the day-to-day lived realities of the residents and communities of the San Joaquin Valley. Bergon’s latest book creation, however, is more elegiac in tone, paying tribute to ranching and farming lives that are disappearing under suburban and exurban sprawl, industrial farming, and white-collar job growth.
Buffalotarrak
Throughout the twentieth century many Basques arrived in the small town of Buffalo, Wyoming, making it a hub of Basque culture for the whole state. This book, originally published for the NABO festival of 1995, collects essays by Basques and others with an interest in the town's people, lives, and customs. With mainly personal voices the Buffalo Basques - or Buffalotarrak - are brought to life, and in doing so shed a great deal of light not only on the Buffalotarrak, but on the experience of Basques in the American West.
