When they arrived at ultimate destinations, at first they got their accommodation in Basque Hotels. Basque Hotels were operated by Basque pioneers, and almost all of employees, such as hotel maid, cooks and waiters, were Basque immigrants. Newcomers from Basque Country scarcely spoke English, but in the Basque Hotel they could start new life without difficulty. In those days, Basque Hotels functioned as nodes in their arriving locations in the immigration network between the place of origin and that of destination. Basque Hotels were concentrated in a particular area of each principal Western city. In a case of Bakersfield, Southern California, Basque Hotels were constructed in blocks close to the Bakersfield Southern Pacific Station. Also in a case of Boise, Idaho, Basque Hotels were built over some blocks near the Oregon Short Line R.R.Station. By the 1970s, almost all of the Basque Hotels were closed in both cities because of the sharp decline of new immigrants from the Basque Country. As a result, in Bakersfield, Basque Hotel blocks experienced severe deterioration, and nowadays only some buildings retain the atmosphere of those years. In contrast to Bakersfield, a core site of Basque Hotel concentrated area in Boise was renovated as an iconic and representative place, "Basque Block." In the Basque Block in Boise, Basque ethnicity is clearly visible in the landscape as Basque mural, Fronton court, Basque museum, and so on. The case of Boise's Basque Block is a product of constant effort by Basque descendants, keeping personnel and informative mobility between the Basque Country, in spite of altered style of the mobility conducted in the modern phase. In conclusion, it is possible to define that Basque Hotels have kept functioning as nodes in the Basque transnational social space which connects two physically separate spaces, encouraging Basque nationality and ethnicity., 論説, Articles}, pages = {43--70}, title = {トランスナショナル社会空間における結節点としてのバスク・ホテル : ベーカーズフィールドとボイジーの事例}, volume = {32}, year = {2015}, yomi = {イシイ, ヒサオ} }
