The papers in this issue were first presented at the conference on Race, Culture, Nation: Argument across the Portuguese-Speaking World. The conference was organized by the authors of this article and held at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and Brown University, 6-8 April 2001. We wish to thank Onésimo Almeida, Department of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown, and Frank Sousa, Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture at UMD, for their encouragement and extensive support in bringing about these initial conversations. At that conference, a paper that Andrea Klimt had just published, "European Spaces: Portuguese Migrants' Notions of Home and Belonging," Diaspora 9 (2000): 259-85, was part of the discussion. It is, therefore, incorporated into this discussion as well. 2. We would like to thank Khachig Tölölyan for his insightful and constructive critique, which helped us further develop our argument. We would also like to thank the contributing authors for their patience and enthusiastic collaboration along the way. Works Cited Anderson, Benedict.
