- 'Peace Corps Fantasies' took eight years to research and write. 320 pages long, it is the first cultural history of the 1960s Peace Corps, and the first Peace Corps history that examines in detail Spanish-language sources. It is the product of extensive research in more than ten archival collections on two continents, and draws on more than 25 oral history interviews. The book contains new interpretations of novels, plays, memoirs, Broadway musicals, and political manifestos.
