On the surface, fishing is all about casting, catching and communing with nature, but on a deeper level, the sport is filled with mysteries. Unlike most books on fishing, which focus on the tale or "how to", this book shows that there is much more lurking beneath the surface than fish.

A study of contemporary flamenco music as a multi-dimensional movement of popular culture. Although portrayed as an apolitical, frivolous form of entertainment, flamenco is shown here to have influenced the Franco regime. This text explores flamenco in its social, cultural and historical context.

Explores the efforts of the government in southern Spain to establish flamenco music as a significant patrimonial symbol and marker of cultural identity. Further, this title aims to show that these Andalusian efforts form part of the ambitious project of rethinking the nation-state of Spain, and of reconsidering the nature of national identity.
