Acknowledgments

A longer version of this work is forthcoming in my book The Tourism Encounter: Fash-

ioning Latin American Nations and Histories (Stanford University Press, 2011). For

their valuable comments on earlier versions, I am grateful to K. Adams, D. Balderston,

J.Duany, C. Guerr ón Montero, V. Rovine, and M. Weismantel. Research for travel to

Cuba in 1993, 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2008–2009 was funded by grants from the

University of Iowa, the Ford Foundation, and the Vada Allen Yeomans Endowment of

the University of Florida. In Cuba, I received generous assistance from N. Hern ández,

M. N ú ˜nez, N. Pérez, A. José Ponte, and A. Sierra.
