By imagining the past of East Hampton, Breen invites his readers to think about other imagined communities-an irresistible invitation, made the more so by his engaging treatment of this remote town. The land of Long Island is precious-not only high-priced, but valued also for its natural beauty, history, and traditions. Consequently, it is at the center of unending contests among longtime residents, newcomers with a genuine or contrived sense of history, and developers. A genuine commitment to preserving the historical identity of their community prompted the East Hampton Historical Society, supported by a grant from the New York Institute for the Humanities, to appoint Breen "resident humanist," commissioning him to write a history of the Mulford Farm, a site at the heart of East Hampton's past. Soon after he arrived in East Hampton, Breen was seized by a sense of urgency, for he discovered that the land and a way of life East Hampton holds dear are at stake as the town's history unfolds. He calls his first chapter, "Meanings in Time." "On one level," he writes, "I describe a general search for meanings in time, a reflective, interpretive process. On another, however, I am concerned with meanings just in time or in the nick of time, meanings revealed before it is too late" (12). Imagining the Past is therefore a search for meanings in the past that hold meanings yet today. Breen is not a neutral researcher or a detached analyst. He takes sides, discreetly, and he is an actor in the drama that holds readers in suspense.

Much of the analysis has centered on eastern North America and more recently on Spanish America. Fewer researchers have investigated the myriad roles the English and later the British have played in the cultural history of Latin America. But, English interest in Latin America extends to the earliest days of the so-called Age of Exploration, and archaeological research has much to reveal about past daily life in the region.
