Basques in the USA – census time
Hi Basques –
American Basque Joe Guerricabeitia, of the Seattle Basque Club, has written to remind fellow US citizens to correctly complete the forthcoming census, making sure to specify ‘Basque’ in the ‘Hispanic other’ section to help give a true picture of the current population.
While we’re on the subject, a new book Diasporas in the New Media Age looks into how modern immigrant communities use communication technology to keep in touch with their families and maintain their cultures. The book was written by Andoni Alonso and Pedro J. Oiarzabal, two Basque scholars, and published by the University of Nevada.
Meanwhile, just before we break for the long weekend, this year’s “Ocean’s Initiative” organized by the Surfrider Foundation, has kicked off with beach cleans being run in San Sebastian and Iparralde. Why not find out where there’s one going on near you.
That’s all for now.
