The book describes the history of Basque handball and cesta punta--commonly known as jai alai--in the United States, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. It was edited by Carmelo Urza and resulted from a North American Basque Organization grant funded by the Basque government. Martin Minaberry of San Francisco initiated the project several years ago while serving as president of the Pan-American confederation of Pelota. The monograph, published in Spanish by Elkar in the Basque Country, contains several black-and-white photographs and is approximately 250 pages long.
