We are enormously grateful to the individuals and institutions that have supported our work on this book. Williams College and Rice University have generously provided us with much-needed time away from the classroom and administrative service and contributed to the very substantial costs of producing and publishing a book of this kind. At Rice, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Humanities Research Center, and the School of Humanities have generously contributed to defray the costs of the book. At Williams we are thankful for support from the Office of the Dean of Faculty and the Class of 1963 Sustainability Development Fund. We also appreciate the grant we received from the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment, which helped to cover the cost of translating a number of the selections.
Among the many individuals to whom we are indebted, first and foremost is Jane Canova of the Center for Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Williams College. Jane took on the vastly laborious task of managing the permissions for all the sixty-four selections that appear in the reader. It is not an exaggeration to say that the book would never have been completed without Janes extraordinary level of organization, persistence, and resourcefulness.
The writers and translators whose work appears in these pages have been an inspiration to us. We are deeply grateful for their contributions to Latin American ecoculture, and for allowing us to reproduce their work here. Among the writers, special thanks are due to Homero Aridjis, Esthela Caldern, Fernando Contreras Castro, Juan Carlos Galeano, and Samanta Schweblin. We are indebted to Jannine Montauban, as we are honored to include here Eduardo Chirinoss poems, in memoriam. The translators who kindly worked with us include Leslie Bary, Arthur Dixon, Steven Dolph, Patricia Gonzlez, Paul J. Kaveney, Elizabeth Kieffer, George McWhirter, Charles A. Perrone, G. J. Racz, Rose Schreiber-Stainthorp, and Grady C. Wray.
A number of students (some of them now alumni) of our institutions contributed to the project by researching the authors represented here and writing drafts of the one-paragraph introductions that precede each selection: Adam Calogeras, Madeline Walsh, Nicholas Wallach, Mariana Njera, and Abigail Gonzlez.
