The collaboration of Jane Gregory Rubin, Maria Fernanda Ortiz, Miguel Barnet, Margaret E. Crahan, Jerry Carlson, Jose Matos, and Octavio di Leo was crucial to the realization of the symposium on which it is based. Alfonso W. Quiroz was responsible for the volume's overall editing and organization. He selected texts for publication, re- vised and edited translations, and a-as a commentator and member of the or- ganizing committee of the symposium. Pamela Smorkaloff collaborated in the organization of the symposium and contributed to this volume's introduction. Gary Aguayo coordinated the activities of the symposium and performed word processing and editorial tasks. Finally, Sandra Black and Scott Larson provided essential editorial assistance with much appreciated diligence and efficiency. The March 2000 Ostiz symposium included a rich program of Cuban clas- sical and popular music, an exhibition of paintings by Ram611 Menocal on the subject of transculturation, a thematic selection of Cuban films and videos coordinated by Jerry Carlson, and an exhibit of rare Ortiz photo- graphs and memorabilia thoughtfully provided by Maria Fernanda Ortiz. We thank Maria Fernanda Ortiz for her support of these endeavors and for shar- ing valuable personal insights on her father's work and life. The Ortiz symposium, and this text. m-ould not have been possible with- out the generous funding of the Ford Foundation and the thoughtful efforts of Cristina EguizBbal. The Graduate Center and Queens College of The City University of New York, the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, the Reed Foundation. InterAmericas, Fundacibn Fernando Ostiz, and the Instituto de Literatura y Lingiiistica-Sociedad Econornica de Amigos del Pais supported the project in various ways. The Reed Foundation also provided a grant for the translation of chapters in this volume originally written in Spanish.
