The book Amerikanuak. Basques in the New World, by Jon Bilbao and William Douglass, is forty years old. It is a complete study of the history of the Basques outside the Basque Country, and has had great influence in the areas of Diaspora studies. This is why a group of universities, including the Center for Basque Studies in Reno, has launched “1975 – the Year of Amerikanuak – 2015. Basque Studies in a Global World,” with an extensive series of talks and activities.
