Extract
This book would not have been possible without the assistance of many individuals and organizations. While space does not allow me to mention everyone who assisted along the way, I would like to name a few individuals, including Patricia Holley, Daniel G. Heimmermann, Robert Adler, Dean Vagn Hansen, Vice President G. Daniel Howard, Provost Roosevelt Newson, President William G. Cale, former interim president Garry Warren, and former president Robert Potts, all from the University of North Alabama (UNA). Sue Nazworth patiently processed my interlibrary loan requests. The College of Arts and Sciences and the University Research Oce at UNA provided research grants at various stages of the project. Jennifer A. Rodgers, an undergraduate in the Department of Geography, created a beautiful map for the book, and Rebecca Green, an undergraduate in the Department of History and Political Science, ably compiled the bibliography.
Several important conferences and research grants also laid the foundations for this book. The Rockefeller Archive Center (Pocantico, New York), and the incomparable assistance of Amy Fitch, served as a launching ground for this project during a funded archival visit in 2003. The Hagley Museum (Wilmington, Delaware) provided an opportunity to share my ideas on Cuban tourism development at a conference in 2004. Philip Scranton and Janet F. Davidson subsequently offered helpful feedback on my project in conjunction with publishing the proceedings from that conference. Larry Clayton, University of Alabama, offered critical insight and opened his Latin American seminar to a presentation on Mexican tourism. The William Clements Center (Southern Methodist University) funded a symposium in 2005 and 2006 on border consumer culture that allowed me to create a paradigm for Mexican tourism development. Alexis McCrossen ably coordinated the conference and encouraged me with my project at all stages. Bradley Coleman, command historian, U.S. Southern Command (Miami, Florida), graciously offered me an opportunity to share a paper on Cuban tourism development at the 2006 American Historical Association meetings.
