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.

Based on the award-winning, critically acclaimed exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York, New York at Its Core takes readers on a whirlwind journey through the 400-year history of the five boroughs to find out how a striving village on the periphery of the Dutch trading empire became the booming metropolis that is today¿s capital of the world. New York at Its Core finds the key in four defining themes that have shaped the city since its inception: money, diversity, density, and creativity. This lavishly illustrated book features nearly 400 objects and images from the one-of-a-kind exhibition, revealing how these themes evolved and interacted to create the city we know today, a subject of fascination the world over visited by millions of people every year. Covering New York¿s entire 400-year history and inviting a look into the city¿s future, New York at Its Core chronicles the cycles of crisis and reinvention that gave rise to one of the world¿s most diverse and densely populated places, a city that has shaped the course of events for the nation and the world.
