Manu de la Sota's diary of his trip to the American West - written as a member of the Basque Government in exile in New York - is now translated into English.De la Sota traveled in December 1938 to Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon to solicit support for an independent Basque State in the Basque diaspora of the U.S, accompanied by Antonio de Irala. At a moment of violent oppression in Europe, defined by defeat in the civil war and political exile, de la Sota discovered hundreds of Basques who, although geographically distant from the home country, continued their traditions and identifications with Basque culture as they also became Americans.In the daily record of this visionary politician and thinker, his encounters with America and its Basque communities emerge as the documentation of everyday life and insightful, often humorous reflections on culture: who we are, where we come from, what defines us, and the political and other ideas that shape our lives.
