This project has benefited from generous support and wise counsel. Lyn Hejinian presided over its first stage at the University of California, Berkeley, offering her time and erudition far beyond what this pupil might have hoped for. Abdul JanMohamed and Colleen Lye were similarly giving of their time and critical acumen. The English Department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, has provided a wonderful environment for the project’s maturation. Each and every colleague in the department has been supportive, rigorous, and a source of tremendous advice. In particular, I would like to thank Laura Doyle for sharing the wealth of her experience and the depth of her knowledge . Peggy O’Brien guided me with gentle wisdom through my transition as a new faculty member. Beyond the walls of these academic institutions, other scholars have been indispensable in the formation of the arguments contained herein. Evidence of Barrett Watten’s incisive critique and intellectual support can be spied easily throughout the text. Chapters within the manuscript also benefited from the intellectual and editorial advice of Elizabeth Willis as well as Carla Harryman. Fellow participants in the “Combined and Uneven Modernisms ” colloquium at the University of Warwick helped me to deepen my account of capitalism’s unevenness. Doug Mao’s profoundly keen critical eye inspired me to aim for a deeper clarity of argument. I am grateful to Matthew McAdam, my editor at the Johns Hopkins University Press, for his endorsement of the project’s potential and for his communication and advocacy throughout. David Coen’s sensitive editorial work made all the difference in the readability of the final product. Also, I was lucky to have Aaron Winslow’s assistance in the preparation of the manuscript.

Mellon Foundation; the American Association of University Women; the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin; the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Healy Faculty Research Grant; and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Book Subvention Program. This book is dedicated to my uncompromisingly independent mother, Dr. Carol Rosala Jennison, who has imparted to me at least some of her signature intellectual curiosity and warm embrace of all who struggle.
