What Amatxi Whispered: Zer Xurxurlatu Didan Amatxik
Artemisia lives in Nevada, and happily spends most of her time along the Truckee river. But Artemisia is also Basque, on her mother's side, though this doesn't really mean much to her... until she goes to the Basque Country and gets to know Amatxi and her world. Then, she discovers the existence of something magical that will always be with her, wherever she is. This is a story about the experience of being the child of immigrants and learning to navigate and embrace different cultures and places.
Living Boundaries
Living Boundaries examines the ways in which individuals construct and express their identities in a frontier area characterized by Basque ethnic and identity politics and undergoing institutional and socio-economic change as part of the current EU context. Taking as its focal point a cross-frontier cooperation project designed to transcend national, cultural, social and political differences in a context of disappearing frontiers and attempts to promote European 'integration', it analyses the way in which local politicians draw on 'culture' and 'identity' for popular legitimacy. In doing so, it reveals some of the obstacles that impede the development of a new sense of common togetherness. Following on in the tradition of social anthropological research, this book is laced with rich ethnographic accounts that tie in with contemporary socio-political issues. It challenges notions of fixed identity among members of groups often perceived as homogeneous, and suggests the rethinking of the concept of identity in terms of a configuration of boundaries that are constantly drawn, crossed and reinterpreted by individuals in the course of everyday social interaction.
Reflections on Europe
When Dutch and subsequently French voters rejected the Draft Treaty for a Constitution for Europe in Spring 2005, many voices called for a pause for reflection. This book is, in part, a result of that moment of reflection. We wanted to contribute to the debate about Europe but crucially, we sought to do so by taking a step back from the problem formation and agenda-setting of Brussels. For the authors of this volume, one key to establishing critical distance has been the reappraisal of the historical perspective. Another has been the problematisation of 'Europe as a space' as opposed to looking for a definition of borders. The authors also seek critical distance through a focus on the tensio...
Plato and Europe

Political Transformation and National Identity Change
The major socio-political changes of the last decades have led to changing ways of being national, changes in the content of national identity if not in the national categories themselves. This comparative social scientific volume takes examples of transitions to democracy (East Europe, Spain) to peace (South Africa, Israel, Northern Ireland) and to territorial decentralization (the United Kingdom, France, Spain), showing in each case how socio-political change and identity change have interlocked. It defines a typology of national identity shift, tracing the changing state forms which provoke national identity shift, and analyzing the process of identity change, its motivations and legitimations. Collecting together a wide range of examples, from South Africa to the Czech Republic from the Basque Country to the Mexican and Irish borders; the book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, from world figures in the study of globalization and social identity to young researchers, to provide a much needed theoretical clarification and empirical evidence of types of national identity shift.
Approaches and Methodologies in the Social Sciences
A revolutionary textbook introducing masters and doctoral students to the major research approaches and methodologies in the social sciences. Written by an outstanding set of scholars, and derived from successful course teaching, this volume will empower students to choose their own approach to research, to justify this approach, and to situate it within the discipline. It addresses questions of ontology, epistemology and philosophy of social science, and proceeds to issues of methodology and research design essential for producing a good research proposal. It also introduces researchers to the main issues of debate and contention in the methodology of social sciences, identifying commonalities, historic continuities and genuine differences.
Unsettled Legitimacy
Under what conditions do individuals and communities accept globalized decision making as legitimate? And what political practices do individuals and collectivities under globalization use to exercise autonomy? To answer these questions, the contributors explore the disruptions and reconfigurations of political authority that accompany globalization. Arguing that we live in an era in which political legitimacy at multiple scales of authority is under strain, they show that globalization has also created demands for regulation, security, and the protection of rights and expressions of individual and collective autonomy.
