Map of Spain COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION INTRODUCTION Ana Varela- Lago and Phylis Cancilla Martinelli In his book Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States, historian Felipe Fernández- Armesto challenges the conventional narrative of American his- tory. “Instead of looking at the making of the United States from the east,” he explains, “we see what it looks like from the south, with Anglo- America injected or intruded into a Hispanic- accented account.”1 Echoing the title of Jose Martí’sCOPYRIGHTED celebrated essay, Fernández- MATERIALArmesto’s volume r epresents an important additionNOT to a growing FOR body DISTRIBUTION of literature that illuminates the rich and complex history of the United States, where the Anglo-Saxon heritage is one among many. As the director of the Spanish foundation that sponsored the project asserts in the foreword, this is also “a book on the presence of Spain in the history of America.”2 Attention to the legacy of the Spanish past in the United States, building on the pioneering work of nineteenth- century scholars such as Herbert Howe Bancroft and Herbert Eugene Bolton, is not confined to the realm of academia. It also plays a significant role in the present-day interactions between the two nations, as a 2013 visit to the United States by Felipe DOI: 10.5876/9781607327998.c000 4 ANA VARELA-LAGO AND PHYLIS CANCILLA MARTINELLI de Borbón (then Crown Prince of Spain) and his wife illustrates. The royal tour included two of the states most associated with the Spanish presence in North America: California and Florida. In California, the delegation stopped at the Huntington Library to see the Junípero Serra exhibit, commemorat- ing the tercentennial of the birth of the Spanish Franciscan and his role in the construction of the network of Catholic missions in California, two of which were also visited by the royal couple. In Florida, Prince Felipe observed the quincentennial of the landing of Juan Ponce de León in 1513, noting in his speech: “We cannot imagine today’s United States without its Spanish legacy.”3 In 2015, a year after his proclamation as King of Spain, Felipe VI returned to Florida to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the founding of the city of Saint Augustine, the oldest European settlement in the United States, by the Asturian Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. This book, too, examines the relations between Spain and the United States. The contributors, however, focus not on the conquistadores and padres of yore, but on more recent arrivals— Spanish immigrants who reached American shores in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Immigrants such as Salustiano Sánchez Blázquez, who as a teenager left his village in the prov- ince of Salamanca and went to Cuba to work cutting cane in the island’s sugar fields. In 1920, he moved to the United States, toiling in the mines of Kentucky and Pennsylvania before settling at Niagara Falls in the early 1930s. Sánchez Blázquez’s story received media attention because when he died, in 2013, he was believed to be the world’s oldest living man.4 Thousands of his compatriots followed a similar path, but their names seldom graced the pages of the newspapers. AlthoughCOPYRIGHTED research on Spanish migration MATERIAL to the United States has increased in recent decades,NOT it remains FOR in its DISTRIBUTION infancy. In Spain, studies of emigration to the Americas have concentrated primarily on Latin American countries, which received the bulk of the Spanish exodus in the period of “mass migra- tion” (1880– 1930).5 Still, in the past few years Spanish scholars have produced a number of regional studies, complementing the original work by Germán Rueda on the recent migration of Spaniards to the United States.6 Bieito Alonso, Nancy Pérez Rey, Ana Varela-Lago, Juan Manuel Pérez, Carolina García Borrazás, and Francisco Sieiro Benedetto investigated the migration of Galicians to New York, Florida, Louisiana, and the Panama Canal.7 Luis Argeo documented the migration of Asturians to the mines of West Virginia, and Introduction 5 Carlos Tarazona Grasa that of Aragonese shepherds to the American West.8 María José García Hernandorena, Joan Frances Mira, Teresa Morell Moll, and Enric Morrió have studied the migration of Valencians to New York.9 In the United States, too, despite important contributions, the study of Spanish migration has lagged behind that of other communities. Basques have been the group more widely and systematically studied on both sides of the Atlantic, thanks in part to the formidable work of the Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno, and the support from the Basque government.10 Yet, to Rosendo Adolfo Gómez’s 1962 pathbreak- ing article “Spanish Immigration to the United States,” we can now add a collection of journal articles, encyclopedia entries, master theses, doctoral dissertations, and video documentaries that enhance our understanding of this phenomenon.11 The most recent addition to this list is an extraordinary collection of over 300 images of Spanish immigrants. The result of years of work and dedication by James D. Fernández and Luis Argeo, with the collaboration of local immigrant communities, this photographic archive is just one aspect of an ongoing project that seeks to recover and document the richness of the Spanish immigrant experience in the United States.12 Hidden Out in the Open is the first book- length study, in English, of the mod- ern migration of Spaniards to the United States.13 It represents an attempt to fill the gap in the research literature on this group, so intimately linked to the history of the Americas and of the United States. The essays cover a period (1875– 1930) defined by the crucial transformations of the Progressive Era in the United States, and by similarly momentous changes in Spain fol- lowing the Restoration of the Bourbon monarchy under Alfonso XII. These include the warsCOPYRIGHTED of independence in Cuba, MATERIAL the loss of the last remnants of the Spanish empireNOT in 1898, FORand social DISTRIBUTION and political mobilizations that culmi- nated in the fall of the monarchy and the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931. The defeat of the Republic, after the 1936 military coup that led to the Spanish Civil War and General Francisco Franco’s victory in 1939, falls outside the scope of this collection. Readers interested in the response of Spanish immigrant communities in the United States to these events can consult a diverse and growing body of research on the subject.14 The chapters in this volume are geographically wide-ranging. They reflect the transnational nature of the Spanish diaspora in the Americas, encompass- ing networks that connected Spain, Cuba (and a number of Latin American 6 ANA VARELA-LAGO AND PHYLIS CANCILLA MARTINELLI countries), the United States, and American-controlled territories in Hawai‘i and Panama. The diversity of locations also reveals the variety of jobs the immigrants engaged in, from construction gangs in the Panama Canal and the Florida Keys to mining crews in Arizona and West Virginia. In Hawai‘i, Spaniards planted and cut cane in sugar plantations. Farming remained their main occupation as they moved from the islands to the fields and canneries of California at the turn of the twentieth century. In Brooklyn, and in Tampa, Florida, Spaniards toiled in a peculiar combination of craft and industry. In factories large and small, the sound of the chavetas (cigar knives) mixed with the voice of the lectores (readers) as workers, seated at their benches, hand- rolled high- quality Clear Havana cigars. The industry had its roots in Cuba but moved to the United States as a result of political unrest when the Cuban movement for independence gained strength during the nineteenth century. Our selection of topics does not pretend to cover the full dimension of the Spanish immigrant experience in the United States. The very nature of this (unevenly developed) field would prevent that. As editors, our aim has been to showcase a diversity of approaches, even if all our contributors had a common focus. We also pay tribute to the pioneering work of scholars such as Beverly Lozano, Gary R. Mormino, and the late George E. Pozzetta, who in the 1980s were introducing the Spanish experience into the “mainstream” of American immigration history. While the book concentrates on a specific national group, its goal is to place the Spanish migrants in a broader context.

  • Los Vocables Asturians De Antoni De Bastero Y Su Probable Informante, El Cardenal Cienfuegos
    Rebut: 31/V/2017 Acceptat: 25/VII/2017 LOS VOCABLES ASTURIANS DE ANTONI DE BASTERO Y SU PROBABLE INFORMANTE, EL CARDENAL CIENFUEGOS Juan Carlos BUSTO CORTINA Universidad de Oviedo No son muchas las referencias a la lengua asturiana ni a su léxico anteriores al siglo XVIII. Todo lo más, se hallan ocasionales inclusiones de voces o frases asturianas en auto- res como Eugenio de Salazar, que transcribe dos versos (de sendos cantares) y dos frases con alguna voz de interpretación discutida (González Ollé 1977: 53-61; Pensado 1982: 34-35). Pero, sin duda, el corpus más numeroso son los 49 refranes que se encuentran en la colección del Comendador Hernán Núñez (1555), conjunto fraseológico y léxico de gran interés tanto para la paremiología como para la lexicografía asturianas, donde apa- recen formas arcaicas poco o nada presentes hoy en asturiano: ne ‘ni’, lomada ‘fama’ [< nōmĭnāta], fabu (DGLA, s. v.) [< făvum], etc.). También se ha destacado la presencia de palabras asturianas (o leonesas) en obras como La pícara Justina (cuelmo, desgañir ‘des- gañitar’, gargüelo, mazcar, mega ‘bruja’, tosta, etc.), en Las famosas asturianas (Cane- llada 1982: 23-27) de Lope de Vega (soldemente, cada que o zomirse, junto a muchas formas —a veces aberrantes— que incorporan soluciones fonéticas y morfosintácticas asturleonesas) o en tantas otras que utilizan la llamada «fabla» (Salvador Plans 1992; Busto 2000: 60). Voces bables también aparecen en los villancicos puestos en boca de asturianos que formaron parte de los repertorios de las capillas musicales de muchas ca- tedrales y conventos de toda España en los siglos XVII y XVIII, donde se hallan textos que son meros remedos del habla asturiana junto a otros escritos en un asturiano bastante pu- ro.1 Sin embargo, es evidente que en ninguna de las obras citadas la presencia de asturia- nismos obedece a un interés filológico.

BRAND This article initiates a series in which the writer will attempt to summarize the scattered and commonly contradictory material on the present ethnic and linguistic constituency of a number of Latin Ameri- can countries. It represents some personal investigations in the field and an examination of much of the pertinent literature. Chile has been a sovereign state since the War of Independence 1810-26. This state was founded upon a nuclear area west of the Andean crest and essentially between 240 and 460 South Latitude. Through the War of the Pacific with Bolivia and Perui in 1879-1883 and peaceful agreements with Argentina, Chile acquired her present extention from Arica to Tierra del Fuego. These northern and south- ern acquisitions added little to her population but introduced numerous small ethnic and linguistic groups. Chile has taken national censuses in 1835, 1843, 1854, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1907, 1920, 1930, and the most recent one in November of 1940.

  • Asturias (Northern Spain) As Case Study
    Celts, Collective Identity and Archaeological Responsibility: Asturias (Northern Spain) as case study David González Álvarez, Carlos Marín Suárez Abstract Celtism was introduced in Asturias (Northern Spain) as a source of identity in the 19th century by the bourgeois and intellectual elite which developed the Asturianism and a regionalist political agenda. The archaeological Celts did not appear until Franco dictatorship, when they were linked to the Iron Age hillforts. Since the beginning of Spanish democracy, in 1978, most of the archaeologists who have been working on Asturian Iron Age have omit- ted ethnic studies. Today, almost nobody speaks about Celts in Academia. But, in the last years the Celtism has widespread on Asturian society. Celts are a very important political reference point in the new frame of Autonomous regions in Spain. In this context, archaeologists must to assume our responsibility in order of clarifying the uses and abuses of Celtism as a historiographical myth. We have to transmit the deconstruction of Celtism to society and we should be able to present alternatives to these archaeological old discourses in which Celtism entail the assumption of an ethnocentric, hierarchical and androcentric view of the past. Zusammenfassung Der Keltizismus wurde in Asturien (Nordspanien) als identitätsstiftende Ressource im 19. Jahrhundert durch bürgerliche und intellektuelle Eliten entwickelt, die Asturianismus und regionalistische politische Ziele propagierte. Die archäologischen Kelten erschienen allerdings erst während der Franco-Diktatur, während der sie mit den eisen- zeitlichen befestigten Höhensiedlungen verknüpft wurden. Seit der Einführung der Demokratie in Spanien im Jahr 1978 haben die meisten Archäologen, die über die asturische Eisenzeit arbeiten, ethnische Studien vernachlässigt.
