Acknowledgments
I would like to thank several people for making this book possible.
Most immediately, I thank Jesper Rosenmeier and the late Deborah Digges for their support of the initial work upon which this project was based. I also thank Jonathan Wilson and George Held for their dedicated involvement on an earlier version of this work.
Other professors who helped inspire and guide my scholarship include Liz Ammons, Lee Edelman, John Flyer, and David Cavitch. My colleagues contributed greatly to such guidance, and I want to make special mention of Anthony Lilly, Christopher Craig, Robin DeRosa, Carl Martin, Stephen Whittier, Tiffany Magnolia, James McCrea, Amor Kholi, and the late Aimee Alcarez-Cowan.
I also received an immense amount of support while teaching full time at Borough of Manhattan Community College. A scholarship from the president’s office allowed me to further research and revise my fourth chapter. I also received much professional and personal encouragement from the following colleagues: Marlene Clark, Jonathan Scott, Danny Sexton, Miriam Delgado, Joyce Zonana, Gay Brookes, Phil Eggers,
