In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

xvii Acknowledgments All shortcomings, weaknesses, and limitations of this book are mine. But I could not have written it without the generous help of many people and institutions. I am especially grateful to Neil Larsen, whose enthusiasm , scholarly rigor, and wealth of knowledge greatly helped improve my original manuscripts. Thanks, too, to Roberto Ruiz and Carlos Blanco Aguinaga, two Republican exiles of the “second generation” whose work I greatly admire and who generously shared their expertise as both scholars and exiles by carefully commenting on earlier versions of the text. I am also indebted to Germán Gullón, who directed the M.A. thesis that constituted a first attempt at dealing with the complex dynamics of Spanish Civil War exile and who opened the doors to the world of U.S. academia . Other friends and colleagues who have been instrumental in the completion of this project include Marta Altisent, Francie Cate-Arries, Maarten van Delden, Linda Egan, Tim Gerhard, Teresa Férriz Roure, José María Naharro-Calderón, Randolph Pope, Janelle Reinelt, José Ángel Sáinz, James Valender, Michael Ugarte, Hugo Verani, and Chuck Walker. I would also like to thank the Program for Cultural Cooperation between Spain’s Ministry of Education and Culture and United States Universities for financially supporting a research trip to Spain; the director and assistants of the Fundación Max Aub in Segorbe, Spain, for their hospitality; the Social Science Research Council for their interest in and support for this project; the organizers and participants of the UC Davis/UC Berkeley Dissertation Workshop on Globalization and Identity for their encouragement and constructive criticism; the Oberlin College Office of A C K N O W L E D G M E N T S xviii Sponsored Programs and my colleagues in Hispanic Studies for their support ; my research assistant Cassandra Ogren for her help in the final preparation of the manuscript; and the editors of the Revista de Estudios Hispánicos, Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispánicos, and the Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, which published articles based on sections of earlier versions of chapters 6 and 9 (see bibliography). My deepest gratitude goes out to my wife Kim, my son Jakob, and my daughter Maya. This book is dedicated to them. ...
