Acknowledgments
I am deeply indebted to a number of people and institutions that have in one way or another contributed to the completion of this project: family and friends, colleagues and staff at both the University of Minnesota and the Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo (UFES), and the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientfico e Tecnolgico (CNPq) in Brazil. This work would not have been possible without the funding from UFES and CNPq and the invaluable support of my Brazilian university throughout my doctoral program in 19871991. I also thank my colleagues in the Department of Languages and Letters at UFES for allowing me time and conditions to revise my dissertation and for adding their suggestions, bibliographical references, and helping hands. I particularly thank Mirtis Caser and Solange Bonn for their constant solidarity.
The interdisciplinary orientation of my project has much to do with the critical openness in the various departments constituting the field of American Studies at the University of Minnesota. I am indebted to Clarke Chambers, Stuart Schwartz, Prabhakara Jha, David W. Noble, John Wright, Joanna O'Connell, Gayle G. Yates, and George Lipsitz, professors who shared with me their experience and expertise and nudged me on with their example and encouragement. I am especially thankful to David, John, Joanna, Gayle, and George for their careful reading and response to my work. As my major adviser. George Lipsitz gave me friendly and competent guidance through the intricacies of cultural politics and contemporary theory;

I am thankful for his orientation and for the stimulating example of his own scholarship. Providential help with sources for my research came from Patricia Turner, bibliographer for humanities and social sciences at Wilson Library. It was a privilege to discuss my work with all of these people throughout the writing process.
