America es una sola aunque pocos lo crean, un dia por encima del Pentgono y las bananas y el petr6leo los hombres comprendern la imbecilidad incurable de los nacionalismos. Julio Cortzar Ultimo Round The essays collected in this volurne arose out of a workshop at the 1992 Conference of the European Association for American Studies in Seville. The overall theme of that conference was "The American Colurnbiad: 'Discovering' America, Inventing the United States. " Feel ing somewhat ill at ease with the clarification of this theme in the EAAS Newsletter of October 1990, which explained that the "central concern" of the conference would be to study the "making of a country which is more than just a country, but also and quintessentially a dream, a fic tion, a continuous creation . . . ", we decided to organize a workshop that would focus on literary texts which implicitly or explicitly stand in opposition to the concept that the making of the North American nation is "quintessentially a dream. " While for many representing a dream, the making of the American nation deferred and destroyed at the same time the dreams of many others. The texts that interested us would therefore be such as foreground the hegemonic and powerrelated aspects that that making entailed and entails. The title that we chose for our workshopwas "Deferring a Dream: Literary SubVersions of the American Colurnbiad. " The hyphen in sub version is not entirely accidental.
