ABSTRACT<br />

This article discusses the characteristics of Galician migration to the United States from the<br />

late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. It does so by looking at three states:<br />

Louisiana, Flori<strong>da</strong>, and New York. The article examines the activities of the Galician diaspora in<br />

the United States through a variety of ethnic-based organizations. The analysis of the response<br />

of the Galician communities in the United States to the Spanish Civil War, and the trajectory of<br />

Basilio Alvarez, a republican exile who died in the Hospital of the Centro Español de Tampa (the<br />

Spanish mutual aid society), underscores the connection between the pre-Civil War emigration<br />

diaspora and that of the republican exile of 1939.<br />

Key words: migration, exile, diaspora, Galicia, United States, Spanish Civil War, Basilio<br />

Gustaríame comezar este artigo cunha noticia publica<strong>da</strong> nun periódico<br />

español de Tampa, Flori<strong>da</strong>, o 1 de xullo de 1927, que me parece especialmente<br />

apropia<strong>da</strong> para o tema que imos tratar. O xornal en cuestión era El Astur,<br />
