LUP hits another milestone - next book funded through OtF

Posted by Tom Grady on July 9, 2025 at 0947

Liverpool University Press and the OtF team are pleased to announce that the press has hit another milestone.

Library participation in Liverpool UP's OtF programme has jointly-funded another open access frontlist book. As with all OtF books, membership fees from all the libraries are collected together until enough has accrued to fund the next book in the pipeline: this next book has just reached that funding threshold and is slated for release later this year. OtF funds fully open access books on publication with no author-facing fees and no paywalls to readers. 

Anticolonialism, race and violence in Basque radical nationalism (1892-1936) 
Maria Reyes Baztán (College Assistant Professor in Spanish at Girton College, University of Cambridge)

LUP say "This is the first in-depth study of the origins and development of anticolonial language and rhetoric within early Basque radical nationalism. The monograph traces the waxing and waning of anticolonial ideas during the first few decades of the Basque nationalist movement through a close examination of Basque periodicals. This close examination of Basque anticolonialism – which is studied in parallel to that of key moments of global anticolonialism – allows us to understand the Basque radical ideology better, including the strategic character of its recurrent anticolonial language."

Maria Reyes Baztán is a College Assistant Professor in Spanish at Girton College, University of Cambridge. Her research examines the intersection between nationalism and anticolonialism in the Basque Country.
