Bulls,
Bullfighting, and Spanish Identities
Carrie B. Douglass.
245 pp. / 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 / 1997 (2nd ptg.)
Paper (0-8165-1652-9) $17.95s
An important study, one which promises to be widely discussed as
Spain continues its uneven movement toward modernity." --Virginia
Quarterly Review
"As a detailed explanation of the workings--symbolic and practical--of the bullfighting system and of how these ludic events are reconfigured in different parts of Spain, the book is authoritative and demonstrates careful archival research, excellent control of the theme literature, and solid fieldwork." --Choice
"Readers who enjoy festival will not be disappointed--Douglass takes them by the hand and never loses her lucidity amidst the merrymaking." --Journal of Anthropological Research
The matador flourishes his cape, the bull charges, the crowd cheers:
this is the image of Spain best known to the world. But while the bull has long
been a symbol of Spanish culture, it carries more meaning than has previously
been recognized.
"The specific treatment of ceramics is in itself peripheral to the
primary importance of this book--that of integrating several distinct
disciplinary data sources through the perspective of an important craft
tradition, to arrive at a richer understanding of several poorly known aspects
of everyday life in the past. The scholarly content of this book is happily
complemented by its readability, its copious illustrations, its extensive
bibliography, and the careful craftsmanship of its publisher."--Hispanic
American Historical Review
"Unbelievably thorough study of the development of the Andalusian
ceramic tradition from its earliest precursors to its flourishing in the New
World."--Hispanic Journal
"This study of ceramics sheds considerable light on the social and
economic history of Spain and her colonies and should be of value to historians
of all sorts."--Journal of Arizona History
Andalusian
