Armintxe Basque Cave Artwork: The Latest Find
Armintxe Basque Cave Artwork: The Latest Find
BOGA: Basque Studies Consortium Journal
Ancient cave paintings reaching back more than 14,000 years were recently found below the Basque town of Lekeitio (Bizkaia). The fifty images were found etched into stone at the Armintxe cave, depicting animals rarely seen in Paleolithic art, such as lions. Experts from the Provincial Council of Bizkaia made the discovery, and believe that they share many of the same characteristics as previous cave artwork in the Basque Country, suggesting close contact among these people who shared in the creation of these cave etchings.

Euskadi-Bulletinen: Swedish Solidarity With The Basque Independence Movement During The 1970'S, Joakim Lilljegren
BOGA: Basque Studies Consortium Journal
Euskadi-bulletinen, the only Basque-Swedish entry in the Swedish national library catalogue, was one of many left-wing bulletins published in Sweden during the mid-1970's. It supported “the Basque people's struggle for freedom and socialism” and could therefore also be seen in a wider perspective as one of many European journals published in solidarity with the Basque independence movement at the time. In this article, the three numbers of the bulletin are described and put in their historical context.
The Bertsolariak Championship As Competitive Game And Deep Play, Jexux Larrañaga Arriola
The Bertsolariak Championship As Competitive Game And Deep Play, Jexux Larrañaga Arriola
BOGA: Basque Studies Consortium Journal
This article examines the performative and ritual aspects of bertsolariak or Basque troubadours in the context of competitive championships. I describe the linguistic and cultural references that derive from the past and continue to the present. My goal is to research the relationship between the ritualization of cultural production of words and creativity, on the one hand, and community production, on the other, with the purpose of obtaining more in-depth information about cultural identity. In order to do so, I analyze the oral context of the championship in both the past and the present. I dwell on a paradox at …
Calculating Ethnicity Through The U.S. Census: The Basque Case, William A. Douglass
Calculating Ethnicity Through The U.S. Census: The Basque Case, William A. Douglass
BOGA: Basque Studies Consortium Journal
In preparation for the 1980 U. S. Census, the U.S. Census Bureau revamped considerably the way it defined, collected, and reported the ancestry of the American population. A long form of the census schedule was developed for application to one in six households. Prior to 1980, Basques were masked under Spanish nationals and French nationals in the final census reports and Basque-Americans were not distinguished at all. This article considers how Basque ethnicity came to be parsed and reported in three fashions—“Basque, Spanish,” “Basque, French,” and “Basque, n.e.c.” (e.g. “not elsewhere classified”). So it was now possible for Americans to …

Introducción: José Ángel Ascunce Arrieta Y La Pluralidad Del Exilio Vasco, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
Cuando se habla del exilio vasco, resulta indispensable mencionar el nombre de José Ángel Ascunce Arrieta. Además de sus estudios sobre Cervantes y el Siglo de Oro, el otro principal campo de su larga y prolífica trayectoria como investigador han sido las culturas española y vasca del siglo xx, especialmente las que se desarrollan a partir de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939), tanto en territorio español como en el exilio. Sus estudios se han enfocado mayormente en autores vascos que escriben en castellano. Sus más de treinta libros entre monografías, obras completas, antologías, ediciones de obras y volúmenes coordinados, junto …
Estados Unidos Como Patria De Redención: El Exilio Del Nacionalismo Vasco En Yanqui Hirsutus, De Manuel De La Sota, Iker González-Allende
Estados Unidos Como Patria De Redención: El Exilio Del Nacionalismo Vasco En Yanqui Hirsutus, De Manuel De La Sota, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
Yanqui hirsutus, de Manuel de la Sota, resulta una obra interesante para aproximarse a la posición del nacionalismo vasco durante el exilio causado por la Guerra Civil. Según la fecha que se incluye al final del libro, Sota terminó de escribirlo el 19 de mayo de 1946 en Nueva York, aunque no se publicó hasta 1949 en Buenos Aires. El epígrafe al comienzo de la obra, en el que el autor agradece a la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York por haber puesto a su "disposición sus cinco millones de volúmenes" (7), también da a entender que Sota escribió el …

Euskaldunak Or Amerikanuak: An Introduction To The Folklore Of The Boise Basques And Its Contribution To The Basque-American Identity, Leah Zavaleta
Euskaldunak Or Amerikanuak: An Introduction To The Folklore Of The Boise Basques And Its Contribution To The Basque-American Identity, Leah Zavaleta
Senior Independent Study Theses
There is little to no research on the folklore of the Basques, and what little that has been done is outdated. The Basques are a people that have long intrigued anthropologists, linguists, geneticists, and folklorists. Previous research has attempted to find an origin of the Basque language, and has acknowledged the genetic uniqueness of the Basques and attempted to discover why. The folklore of the Basques was collected almost a century ago and there are no contemporary collections of current Basque folklore. I have attempted to solve this problem by contributing to the literature on the folklore of the Basques. …
