Glas analyzes the rapid economic growth of Spain's Bilbao region in the context of its massive exportation of iron ore to Great Britain between 1875 and 1899. Focusing on the mining boom and the opportunities it created for Bilbao businessmen, the author establishes a broad chronological and analytical framework that combines economic history with social, cultural, and political analysis to account for the industrialization of Vizcaya and the success of local entrepreneurs.

Basque Immigrants and Nevada’s Sheep Industry is a rich and complex exploration of the history of Basque immigration to the rangelands of Nevada and the interior West. It looks critically at the Basque sheepherders in the American West and more broadly at the modern history of American foreign relations with Spain after the Second World War. Between the 1880s and the 1950s, the western open-range sheep industry was the original economic attraction for Basque immigrants. This engaging study tracks the development of the Basque presence in the American West, providing deep detail about the sheepherders’ history, native and local culture, the challenges they faced, and the changing conditions under which the Basques lived and worked. Saitua also shows how Basque immigrant sheepherders went from being a marginalized labor group to a desirable, high-priced workforce in response to the constant demand for their labor power. As the twentieth century progressed, the geopolitical tide in America began to change. In 1924, the Restrictive Immigration Act resulted in a truncated labor supply from the Basque Country in Spain. During the Great Depression and the Second World War, the labor shortage became acute. In response, Senator Patrick McCarran from Nevada lobbied on behalf of his wool-growing constituency to open immigration doors for Basques, the most desirable laborers for tending sheep in remote places. Subsequently, Cold War international tensions offered opportunities for a reconciliation between the United States and Francisco Franco, despite Spain’s previous sympathy with the Axis powers. This fresh portrayal shows how Basque immigrants became the backbone of the sheep industry in Nevada. It also contributes to a wider understanding of the significance of Basque immigration by exploring the role of Basque agricultural labor in the United States, the economic interests of Western ranchers, and McCarran’s diplomacy as catalysts that eventually helped bring Spain into the orbit of western democracies.

Spanish soccer is on top of the world, at international and club level, with the best teams and a seemingly endless supply of exciting and stylish players. While the Spanish economy struggles, its soccer flourishes, deeply embedded throughout Spanish social and cultural life. But the relationship between soccer, culture and national identity in Spain is complex. This fascinating, in-depth study shines new light on Spanish soccer by examining the role this sport plays in Basque identity, consolidated in Athletic Club of Bilbao, the century-old soccer club located in the birthplace of Basque nationalism. Athletic Bilbao has a unique player recruitment policy, allowing only Basque-born players or those developed at the youth academies of Basque clubs to play for the team, a policy that rejects the internationalism of contemporary globalised soccer. Despite this, the club has never been relegated from the top division of Spanish football. A particularly tight bond exists between fans, their club and the players, with Athletic representing a beacon of Basque national identity. This book is an ethnography of a soccer culture where origins, nationalism, gender relations, power and passion, lifecycle events and death rituals gain new meanings as they become, below and beyond the playing field, a matter of creative contention and communal affirmation. Based on unique, in-depth ethnographic research, this book investigates how a soccer club and soccer fandom affect the life of a community, interweaving empirical research material with key contemporary themes in the social sciences, and placing the study in the wider context of Spanish political and sporting cultures. Filling a key gap in the literature on contemporary Spain, and on wider soccer cultures, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, anthropology, sociology, political science, or cultural and gender studies.

"The word is out that miracles still occur, and that a major one is happening here ... 'Have you seen Bilbao?' In architectural circles, the question has acquired the status of a shibboleth. Have you seen the light? Have you seen the future?" Herbert Muschamp's future is now. What can we learn from "The Guggenheim Effect"?" "Hailed as an "instant landmark," Gehry's Bilbao Guggenheim brought a new sense of relevance to architecture in the transformation of urban landscapes. It was the story of the architect as hero and, as Greeks believed, of architecture as the first art-arche. Bilbao was doing for the Basques what the Sydney Opera House had done for Australia. Gehry, while complaining of being "geniused to death," became not only the master architect but the master artist. As a result, after Bilbao, every city has dreamed of its own Guggenheim effect. Gehry's optimistic artichoke amid Bilbao's post-industrial ruin has become an icon of what architecture can do for a city in decline. Warhol seems to be right in his prognostication that every museum should become a supermarket. Yet Hal Foster wondered, "Why all the hoopla?" Wasn't Gehry's museum risking the most problematic aspects of modernist monumentality and post-modernist faux populism?" "In this volume, artists (Fraser, Haacke, Muntadas, Sekula), architecture critics (Colomina, Gilbert-Rolfe), urban planners (Azua), art historians (Guilbaut, Guasch, Moxey, Welchman), museum specialists (Camara, Viar), art and tourism writers (Lippard, MacCannell), and anthropologists (Zulaika) discuss the various aspects of the Bilbao Guggenheim from an interdisciplinary perspective." -- Book Jacket.
