Book Description
«Modern Minstrelsy» «Miguel Hernández and Jacques Brel» is an analogy study of two contemporary writers, the Spanish poet Miguel Hernández and the Belgian «chansonnier» Jacques Brel. Through the tracing of universal thematic parallels in their work, «Modern Minstrelsy» discusses the poetry of Hernández and Brel as affined examples of both a socially oriented contemporary humanism and of a modernized medieval minstrel tradition. Modern and medieval, personal and didactic, violent and tender, the poetry of Hernández and of Brel proclaims the poet's serious societal responsibilities, as spokesman for and about our communal nature.
The Basques of New York
Author: Gloria Pilar TotoricaguenaPublisher: Center for Basque Studies Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Generations of Basques in New York have vibrantly exercised their culture, language, values, and traditions, transmitting to their children a robust sense of ethnic identity. In today's world of globalization it is often assumed that particular communities are disappearing as a consequence of the factors of homogenization. However, the Basques have proved this false. Depicting Basque mutual aid societies, language courses, musical and dance troupes, cuisine classes, community activities, sport, political involvement, and ties to homeland institutions are just a few of the ingredients which mix to compose the chapters of this work. Readers will learn about the history and reasons why Basques left the Pyrenees of northern Spain and southern France from the personal experiences of political and economic exiles' oral histories. Original archival research allows us to discover the features of the early 1900s Centro Vasco-Americano, the Basque Government-in-exile Delegation in New York, and the development of Basque organizations. "Basqueness" is being redefined in this transnational cosmopolitan community, and with the pioneer spirit of their ancestors, latter generation Basques are nurturing and promoting Basque culture and identity to the world.
