Bilbao-New York-Bilbao
The day he knew he was going to die, Liborio Uribe took his young daughter in law to the Museum of Fine Arts to show her a picture. Liborio had spent his entire life at sea, like his son José, living out unforgettable adventures which would later fade into obscurity. Years after, faced by the same painting, Liborio's grandson Kirmen, a writer and poet, uses these family stories to write a novel. Bilbao–New York–Bilbao takes place during a flight to New York and tells the story of journeys by three generations of the same family. The key to the book is Liborio's fishing boat, the Dos Amigos: who are these two friends, and what is the nature of their friendship? Through letters, diaries, ...

New York-Martutene
he present book is a critical essay on Basque literature, history, and globali-zation, which takes Ramon Saizarbitoria's novel Martutene (2012) as a starting point.

Unlike the previous most important novel of the new millennium, Kirmen Uribe's Bilbao - New York - Bilbao (2008), which idealizes globalization, Saizarbirtoria's criticizes it, hence the global emphasis of his novel: the Basque town of Martutene.

Diasporic Mediations
In the heated, often rancorous debates that are the "culture wars", identity politics has been at the centre of both popular and academic discussion. In this series of meditations on the relationship between theory and practice, R. Radhakrishnan probes the intersections of poststructuralism and postcoloniality that lie at the heart of contemporary controversies over identity difference. This book records Radhakrishnan's attempt to make theory accountable to the world, even while eschewing narrow methodologies or "isms". Rather than embracing one totalizing point of view, these essays move in the spaces "between" to establish a productive dialogue between different disciplines and critical pr...
