Acknowledgments

This book owes a great debt to many people throughout the Atlantic region, but especially: José Juan Castillo in San Sebastián, Hallfredur Örn Eiriksson at the Árni Magnússon Institute in Reykjavik, Lillian Gonzalez in New York, Einar Gustavsson at the Scandinavian Tourist Board in New York, Jørgen Leth in Port-au-Prince, Louis Menashe in New York, David S. Miller in Copenhagen, Rosita Marrero in San Juan, Gillian Parsons at the University of Lancaster, Christine Toomey in London, John Walton at the University of Lancaster, arid Monique Zerdoun in Paris. Special thanks to Lisa Klausner.

I am greatly indebted to Denise Martin and Linda Perney for so generously giving their time and considerable skills and for much valued advice. I also want to thank Charlotte Sheedy for all her support and guidance. This book owes much to my incredibly good fortune in finding the right editor and publisher. Deep-felt thanks to Nancy Miller for her friendship, faith, enthusiasm, and skillful work and to George Gibson, who is the kind of publisher of which most writers only dream.
