1. Who helped shape the project?
Discussions with Ellen Foley, Erik Vickstrom, Caroline Faria, Julie Kleinman, Abena Osseo-Assare, and Joanna Davidson shaped the project. Their interest in the topic gave me tremendous encouragement. Sydney Silverstein's keen eye and generous feedback were invaluable. Marcela Maxfield, Sunna Juhn, Cindy Lim, and the editorial and production staff at Stanford University Press also contributed significantly. Special appreciation goes to Rhacel Parrenas for her early support of the project and my work, as well as to her and Hung Cam Thai for their inclusion of this book in this series.
