Oscar Alvarez, visiting scholar at the Center for Basque Studies in Reno, will be giving a presentation entitled “Before the Ikurrina was the Basque Flag. Icons of Basque Identity in the Americas (1880-1935).”
There were several attempts in both the Basque Country and Basque colonies in the Americas to create and use various models of iconic representations of Basque identity.
Professor Alvarez has done extensive research on Basque identity – how people define themselves as Basques.
The program will be held at the Basque Museum and Cultural Center.
Presentation is free and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
