  • Mapping Urban Water Governance Models in the Spanish Mediterranean Coastline
    Water and Society IV 75 MAPPING URBAN WATER GOVERNANCE MODELS IN THE SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN COASTLINE RUBÉN VILLAR & ANA ARAHUETES Instituto Interuniversitario de Geografía, Universidad de Alicante, Spain ABSTRACT The heterogeneity of governance and management models of municipal water supply in the Spanish Mediterranean coastline has increased in recent decades. This diversity is explained by the increase of private companies responsible for the management of the local water service and the presence of supramunicipal public entities responsible for water catchment, treatment and distribution to the municipalities. Based on the review of the existing literature, the information available on the websites of the leading corporate groups in the water sector and contacting with councils, the companies and supramunicipal entities involved in the service of municipal water in the Mediterranean coastline have been identified. The objective of this work is to analyse the territorial presence of the main actors in the urban water management through its cartographic representation, as well as analyse its ownership and importance in terms of population supplied. This analysis shows a high presence of companies belonging to the AGBAR group that supply around half of the total population in the Spanish coastline municipalities. Likewise, there is a regional specialization of certain private companies that concentrate the urban water management for the most part of the coastline municipalities. This is the case of FACSA, which manages the water services in 87% of coastline municipalities in Castellón, or Hidraqua in Alicante, that operates in the 65%. Furthermore, the presence of large supramunicipal public entities is widespread along the coastline, especially in Catalonia and the southeast.

  • A La Cubana: Enrique Granados's Cuban Connection
    UC Riverside Diagonal: An Ibero-American Music Review Title A la cubana: Enrique Granados’s Cuban Connection Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/90b4c4cb Journal Diagonal: An Ibero-American Music Review, 2(1) ISSN 2470-4199 Author de la Torre, Ricardo Publication Date 2017 DOI 10.5070/D82135893 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California A la cubana: Enrique Granados’s Cuban Connection RICARDO DE LA TORRE Abstract Cuba exerted a particular fascination on several generations of Spanish composers. Enrique Granados, himself of Cuban ancestry, was no exception. Even though he never set foot on the island—unlike his friend Isaac Albéniz—his acquaintance with the music of Cuba became manifest in the piano piece A la cubana, his only work with overt references to that country. This article proposes an examination of A la cubana that accounts for the textural and harmonic characteristics of the second part of the piece as a vehicle for Granados to pay homage to the piano danzas of Cuban composer Ignacio Cervantes. Also discussed are similarities between A la cubana and one of Albéniz’s own piano pieces of Caribbean inspiration as well as the context in which the music of then colonial Cuba interacted with that of Spain during Granados’s youth, paying special attention to the relationship between Havana and Catalonia. Keywords: Granados, Ignacio Cervantes, Havana, Catalonia, Isaac Albéniz, Cuban-Spanish musical relations Resumen Varias generaciones de compositores españoles sintieron una fascinación particular por Cuba. Enrique Granados, de ascendencia cubana, no fue la excepción.

  • THE CENTER for COMPARATIVE IMMIGRATION STUDIES African
    CCIS THE CENTER FOR COMPARATIVE IMMIGRATION STUDIES African Immigrant Workers in Spanish Agriculture By Keith Hoggart King’s College London and Cristóbal Mendoza El Colegio de la Frontera Norte Working Paper No. 2 February, 2000 University of California-San Diego La Jolla, California 92093-0510 2 African immigrant workers in Spanish agriculture* Keith Hoggart and Cristóbal Mendoza Comparatively little research has been completed on non-European immigrant populations in rural Europe. As recent reviews have made clear (e.g. Ageyman and Spooner, 1997), one has to search wide to find material on ethnic minorities, let alone immigrants. Although this shortfall is being addressed by some analysts (e.g. Jay, 1992; Kinsman, 1995), the European literature falls a long way short of what is available in the United States (e.g. Friedland and Nelkin, 1971; Baker, 1976; Jennings, 1980; Goldfarb, 1981). Perhaps this is understandable, as both the immigrant and ethnic minority populations of the rural USA are larger than in Europe. Although the 1950s and 1960s saw large immigrant inflows into north- central Europe, the destinations of immigrant workers were largely urban (e.g. Schmitter-Heisler, 1986). Today, Europe is experiencing a new wave of non-European labour immigration. This differs from previous inflows, not simply because of its different political and economic context, but also because its destinations have a significant southern European flavour (King and Rybaczuk, 1993; Pugliese, 1993). From what evidence is currently available, it appears that a further difference exists, in that rural areas are playing a more important role in the employment experiences of these new immigrants.
