I have a new book coming out entitled Reclaiming Basque: Language, Nation, and Cultural Activism with the University of Nevada Press (Spring 2012). It is based on long term ethnographic research on Basque language politics and explores the intersecting logics of nationalism and governmentality. I'm interested in changing forms of cultural activism, discourses of knowledge and power, as well as visual culture. My newest fieldwork is an "intimate ethnography" of historical memory of the Spanish civil war.
