After losing the Civil War, confederates developed a sense of nationalism and nostalgia, which, combined with a bitter resentment toward Northern colonization, was enough to convince 9000 confederates to set up colonies of the confederate cause in Brazil (Lowe 6).

Today's Brazil is MORE hostile to Southern values than any force in the US written by REDNECK,

The whole premise of your final paragraph is just plain silly. The old Confederacy is President Bush's base of support. The only dictatorial force in the US is the Stalinist left, led by Hillary ROTTEN Clinton. This includes rogue judges that remove the ten commandments, public schools that facilitate abortion and undermine traditional values. There are those that want to trivialize marriage by including same-sex perverts to marry.

Greetings from the state of Pará, Dr. Kane. I have read your three chapters with interest. Instead of having your student actually read Absalom! Absalom!, just recommend that they drink two six packs or three or four doubles, and listen to Ulysses off a CD or tape.

Oops, pushed the wrong button. Not many have responded to your carefully written piece. I wonder if you have ever actually visited Santarem, or for that matter, Yoknapatawpha. I wonder where you got "presumption of western imperialism that history=progress?"
And why did you feel it necessary to explain who Amado is? Who do you think is taking the time to read your piece, anyway? Finally, one must agree with your remark in the second chapter. As you ably pointed out, you digress. While Redneck´s comment was not very charitable, it would certainly seem that you went to all that trouble of research and writing in order to take a swipe at those with whom you disagree politically.
