ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The meaning of this book's structure has been one that has informed the way I think about and teach literature for a long time. But like any conviction, it needed a lot of collaboration in order to move it from an idiosyncrasy to something communicable. I hope that I am not omitting anyone when I offer the following as my intellectual debit sheet.
First of all, I thank Cecelia Tichi for suggesting that I write a book about these ideasand then providing invaluable initial readings. Many others reacted in profitable ways, and I acknowledge in particular the collegial interventions of Earl Briden, Nora Barry, and Bill Graves. The manuscript was improved significantly by Ann Finlayson's editing. Past teachers, including George Monteiro, Robert Scholes, William G. McLoughlin, George Creeger, and Carol Maturo, will recognize some of my arguments. The methodology of this book originated in my own classroom and I only hope that my students at Bryant College receive as much from my efforts as I do from theirs.
I thank the editors of American Literature, Studies in American Fiction, and Studies in Popular Culture for permitting me to borrow from works I had published in those journals. I am also obliged to the Network Television News Archives at Vanderbilt University, where my research on Jesse Jackson was completed. And thanks to the Yippies for being so generous with back issues of
