{"product_id":"9780874178593","title":"Back to Bizkaia: A Basque-American Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eNevada sheep rancher Joe Juaristi spoke for years about making a trip back to the Spanish Basque Country that he left sixty years earlier, but each time the subject came up the discussion evolved into a family debate about the scope and members of the journey. Finally Joe's son, Vince, secretly resolved to organize the trip that his father wanted and needed--the two of them, traveling alone, making a quiet reunion with Joe's twin sister, who suffers from Alzheimer's, visiting other aging siblings and friends, and recounting the places that formed Joe's memories of his youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBack to Bizkaia\u003c\/i\u003e is part travel book, part memoir of two men exploring their mutual roots and their unique father-son bond. The narrative intertwines an engaging account of the contemporary Basque Country with Joe's experiences as an immigrant making his way in a new country and Vince's memories of growing up in a close Basque-American community in the American West. This is a book about Basques and their American families, but on another level it is every immigrant's story of return to a beloved homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nevada Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033298878704,"sku":"9780874178593","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780874178593_p0.jpg?v=1763831114","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780874178593","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
