A Basque-American Fairytale
<p>Inspired by the simple question asked by a godchild at bedtime, Vince Juaristi ponders why the Basque have become by a multitude of measures one of the most successful immigrant communities in the United States. He identifies four key factors which explain in part the Basque success: <span>Basque cohesion, a strong work ethic, frugality, and an independent spirit.</span></p>

Eleanor's Children
<p>In 1937, 8-year-old Kermit Mirena Iriondo was evacuated from the Basque country following the Nazi bombing of Guernica (Basque: Gernika). Along with his old sister and two brothers, he boarded the SS Habana and sailed for England with 3,840 other Basque children. American First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt led a global effort to support these refugee children financially. During her 1942 visit to Britain, now 13-year-old Kermit met his benefactor and was photographed with the First Lady.</p>

The Good Shepherds
<p>The efforts of Nevada Senator Patrick McCarran to pass an amendment to his Displaced Person's Act to allow Basque sheepherders to emigrate to the United States in 1948 through 1952. As a result, the McCarran-Walters Act (1952) adopted similar principles for all American immigration policy, many of which remain in effect to today. The story combines debates about the Basque to the flagging American sheep-herding industry in the post-war West, the question of refugees and their legal status as immigrants, and the calculations of international relations in the developing Cold War.</p>
