African Migrations: Patterns and Perspectives

Acknowledgments

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This volume emerged from a conversation on a plane to the annual African Studies Association meeting in 2004. Like many projects of this sort, the gestation period has been long but made bearable by the patience of our contributors and support of our colleagues. The editors wish to thank the staff of the Center for African Studies at University of Florida—in particular Leonardo Villalon, Corinna Greene, and Ikeade Akinyemi—for their continued assistance in all phases of this project. We would also like to thank the staff at Indiana University Press and the anonymous reviewers whose suggestions and guidance solidified this collection. Primary financial support for the project was provided by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center program, with additional resources from the following University of Florida entities: the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Office of the Provost, the International Center, the Office of Research, the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, and the Department of Anthropology. This page intentionally left blank AFRICAN MIGRATIONS This page intentionally left blank ...
