		Carpentier lauds Melville for taking notice of the “other America,” which, for Carpentier, he does in his story “Benito Cereno,” a celebrated 1855 tale about a slave rebellion that, for the Cuban writer and scholar, very effectively dramatizes the contrast between “America,” or the New World, and Europe.
		This study seeks to “draw some parallels between the surviving Mesoamerican literature (recorded by Spanish churchmen in the sixteenth century) and the surviving Pueblo literature (recorded by American anthropologists) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries” (85).
		Dean argues that “for both Melville and Rosa animals and their habitat, specifically water, are important symbols,” and that “Rosa’s crocodile extends the symbolism of Melville’s whale” (199).
