The seed for Euskara Munduan, a plan created to bring Euskara classes to the Basque centers, was planted in Argentina in 1989 by a group from the Basque community who presented their idea to Lehendakari Ardanza during a visit by the former Basque president. Little by little other Basque centers around the world began adding their names to the list, including countries from Latin America, the United States, Canada and Australia, as well as clubs based in Spain, Paris, London and Rome. Sixteen years after the launching of the plan, originally called “Argentinan Euskaraz,” several thousand people have learned Euskara outside of Euskal Herria and the project is more active today than ever before. Program coordinator Jose Franzisko Zinkunegi, whose work falls under the auspices of the Institute for Basque Culture, Language and Adult Literacy, HABE (Helduen Alfabetatze eta Berreuskalduntzerako Erakundea), has closely watched appreciation for Euskara spread to all corners of the world. Familiar with the actual conditions and circumstances of Basque communities abroad, his insight helps shed light on the process involved in reviving a language. Seventeen Argentinians signed up as students, and after the experience was through they went back to their Basque centers to teach beginning Euskara Young people are the driving force in Argentina classes to 175 students.” “In 1989 there were no longer any Basque immigrants From 1990 to 1995 efforts focused on training in Argentina keeping the language of their forebears Euskara teachers so they could respond to the demand alive,” said Zinkunegi. “Euskara was lost and a group in Argentina.

  • Ethnicity and Identity in a Basque Borderland, Rioja Alavesa, Spain
    ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY IN A BASQUE BORDERLAND: RIOJA ALAVESA, SPAIN By BARBARA ANN HENDRY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 Copyright 1991 by Barbara Ann Hendry ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The help of numerous individuals in Spain and the United States enabled me to complete this dissertation— it is difficult to adequately acknowledge them all in these few short pages. To begin, without the generous hospitality, friendship, and assistance of many people in Rioja and Rioja Alavesa in 1985 and 1987, this research would not have been possible. For purposes of confidentiality, I will not list individual names, but, thank all of those in Albelda de Iregua, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Brihas, Elciego, Laguardia, and, especially, Lapuebla de Labarca, who graciously let me share in their lives. Friends in the city of Logroho were also supportive, especially Charo Cabezon and Julio Valcazar. Stephanie Berdofe shared her home during my first weeks in the field, and buoyed my spirits and allayed my doubts throughout the fieldwork. Carmelo Lison Tolosana welcomed me to Spain and introduced me to several of his students. Maribel Fociles Rubio and Jose Lison Areal discussed their respective studies of identity in Rioja and Huesca, and helped me to formulate the interview schedule I used in Rioja Alavesa. They, and Jose's wife. Pilar, provided much warm hospitality during several brief trips to Madrid. iii The government administrators I interviewed in Rioja Alavesa and Vitoria were cooperative and candid.

  • The Basque Language Abroad: Homeland and Diaspora Initiatives for Euskara
    The Basque Language Abroad: Homeland and Diaspora Initiatives for Euskara Totoricagüena, Gloria Pentsamendua: Basque Global Initiatives 918 N. 18th Boise, Idaho 83703 Diasporako komunitateetan, aberriko hizkuntzaren biziraupena egiazkotasun etnikoari eta legitimotasunari buruzko espektatibei lotuta egon daiteke. Beste komunitate inmigrante batzuek eta geroko belaunaldiek euskaraz hitz egitea goraipatzen badute ere, euskal diasporaren identita- tea arbasoei, aurrekoei, dago lotuta beste ezeri baino gehiago. Landa-lanek erakutsi dutenez, eus- kalduna izatea ez da euskaraz hitz egiteko gai izatea. Eusko Jaurlaritzak ezarritako programek eta finantzaketak leku askotan oraindik euskara gordetzeko aukera eman dute biziki. Giltza-Hitzak: Euskal. Diaspora. Hizkuntzaren biziraupena. Etnia. Euskal etxeak. Eleaniztasu- na. En las comunidades de la diáspora la conservación de la lengua de la patria de origen puede ir ligada a expectativas de autenticidad étnica y legitimidad. Aunque otras comunidades inmigran- tes y generaciones futuras alaben el hecho de hablar euskera, la identidad de las diáspora vasca está más vinculada a la ascendencia que a cualquier otro factor. Trabajos de campo han demos- trado que “Ser Vasco” no depende de ser capaz de hablar euskera. Los programas y la financia- ción implantados por el Gobierno Vasco han contribuido enormemente a que aún exista, en nume- rosos lugares, la posibilidad de conservar la lengua vasca. Palabras Clave: Vasco. Diáspora. Conservación de la lengua. Etnia. Euskal etxeak. Plurilin- güismo. Dans les communautés de la diaspora, la conservation de la langue de la patrie d’origine est parfois liée aux expectatives d’authenticité ethnique et de légitimité. Quoique d’autres communau- tés immigrantes et les générations futures considèrent louable le fait de parler euskara, l’identité de la diaspora basque et davantage liée à l’ascendance, par-dessus tout autre facteur.

    Institute Ethnology and Anthropology Russian Academy of Sciences Peoples, Identities and Regions. Spain, Russia and the Challenges of the Multi-Ethnic State Moscow 2015 ББК 63.5 УДК 394+312+316 P41 Peoples, Identities and Regions. Spain, Russia and the Challenges of the Multi-Ethnic State / P41 edited by Marina Martynova, David Peterson, Ro- man Ignatiev & Nerea Madariaga. Moscow: IEA RAS, 2015. – 377 p. ISBN 978-5-4211-0136-9 This book marks the beginning of a new phase in what we hope will be a fruitful collaboration between the Institute Ethnology and Anthropology Russian Academy of Science and the University of the Basque Country. Researchers from both Spain and Russia, representing a series of scientific schools each with its own methods and concepts – among them anthropologists, political scien- tists, historians and literary critics-, came to the decision to prepare a collective volume exploring a series of vital issues concerning state policy in complex societies, examining different identitarian characteristics, and reflecting on the difficulty of preserving regional cultures. Though the two countries clearly have their differences – political, economic and social –, we believe that the compar- ative methodology and the debates it leads to are valid and indeed important not just at a theoretical level, but also in practical terms. The decision to publish the volume in English is precisely to enable us to overcome any linguistic barriers there might be between Russian and Spanish academics, whilst simultaneously making these studies accessible to a much wider audience, since the realities be- hind many of the themes touched upon in this volume are relevant in many other parts of the globe beyond our two countries.
