| description | The publication of the Emigrant´s Handbook [ Cartilla del Emigrante] in 1910, by the Ibero-American Union responded to the effort of directing and informing Spanish citizens who wished to migrate to America, in order to improve their life conditions. In this work, its authors Jesús María Rísquez, medical doctor, and Melchor Ordoñez, teacher, explained the particularities represented by both the legal and illegal transfer.In this way, knowledge of the migratory framework on both sides of the Atlantic was pondered; which in theory guaranteed full exercise of rights and obligations. In the opinion of Rísquez and Ordoñez, it was fundamental to warn about the shipping lines and travel conditions, especially with regards to trip payment and the sanitary medical scenery of the journey. The potentialities and physical characteristics of destination countries in the American continent were equally pointed out, as well as the work profile of the Spanish migrant, which would allow easier insertion. For this reason, fulfillment of the precepts of the Emigrant´s Handbook, would allow the construction of a profile of the Spanish migrant as an active element in the daily flow of life, and therefore as an individual and collective expression of Hispanism in America. |

In this work, its authors Jesús María Rísquez, medical doctor, and Melchor Ordoñez, teacher, explained the particularities represented by both the legal and illegal transfer.In this way, knowledge of the migratory framework on both sides of the Atlantic was pondered; which in theory guaranteed full exercise of rights and obligations. In the opinion of Rísquez and Ordoñez, it was fundamental to warn about the shipping lines and travel conditions, especially with regards to trip payment and the sanitary medical scenery of the journey. The potentialities and physical characteristics of destination countries in the American continent were equally pointed out, as well as the work profile of the Spanish migrant, which would allow easier insertion. For this reason, fulfillment of the precepts of the Emigrant´s Handbook, would allow the construction of a profile of the Spanish migrant as an active element in the daily flow of life, and therefore as an individual and collective expression of Hispanism in America. En 1910 la publicación en Madrid de la Cartilla del Emigrante, por parte de la Unión Ibero-Americana, vino a responder al esfuerzo por encausar e informar a aquellos españoles que decidían migrar a América, con la finalidad de mejorar sus condiciones de vida. En efecto, a lo largo de las páginas de su obra tanto Jesús María Rísquez como Melchor Ordóñez, en su condición de autores así como en su calidad de médico y catedrático respectivamente, señalaron las particularidades que suponía el transvase tanto legal como ilegal.De esta manera se ponderaba el conocimiento del marco migratorio de ambos lados del Atlántico, lo que en teoría garantizaría el ejercicio pleno de derechos y obligaciones. A juicio de Rísquez y Ordoñez era fundamental advertir sobre las líneas navieras y las condiciones del viaje, sobre todo de cara al pago del viaje y el escenario médico sanitario en el que se realizaría la travesía. Las potencialidades y características físicas de los países de destino en el continente americano fueron igualmente señaladas, lo que unido al perfil laboral del migrante español le facilitarían su inserción. Por lo tanto, el cumplimiento en mayor medida de los preceptos de la Cartilla del Emigrante, permitiría perfilar al migrante español como un elemento activo en su devenir cotidiano y, por ende, como una expresión individual y colectiva del hispanismo en América. En 1910 la parution à Madrid de la Cartilla del Emigrante chez l’Union Ibéro-Americana répond à l’effort de guider et de renseigner les Espagnols qui, dans l’espoir d’améliorer leur vie, décident de migrer vers le continent américain. En effet, tout au long des pages, le médecin Jesús María Rísquez et le professeur universitaire Melchor Ordóñez, auteurs de l’ouvrage, signalent les particularités d’un tel voyage, qu’il soit légal ou illégal. Ainsi, l’examen minutieux de la législation migratoire devait garantir au voyageur le plein exercice de ses droits et devoirs. Selon Rísquez et Ordoñez, il était essentiel, en outre, de connaître les compagnies de navigation transatlantiques et les conditions du voyage, puisqu’il fallait payer celui-ci et faire face aux conditions sanitaires de la traversée. Les atouts et les caractéristiques physiques des pays d’accueil ont été également signalés, ce qui, allié au proil en tant que travailleur du migrant espagnol, devait rendre plus aisée l’incorporation de celui-ci dans la nouvelle société. Le respect, donc, de la plupart des préceptes de la Cartilla del Emigrante,permettrait alors de dessiner le proil du migrant espagnol comme élément actif dans son devenir journalier et, par tant, comme expression individuelle et collective de l’hispanisme en Amérique.
