Collective Dreams: Political Imagination and Community

Acknowledgments

There were multitudes who provided advice and encouragement at key points in the genesis of this book. First and foremost, John Zarobell read and talked about every draft. He would get up so I could sleep and he never stopped thinking the project mattered. My advisors at University of California , Berkeley, Hanna Pitkin, Mary Ryan, and Paul Thomas, all provided terrific guidance, and Mike Rogin was a model mentor. Nancy Hirshmann and Mary Katzenstein gave much needed advice at Cornell University. Readers Peggy Kohn and William Caspary and editor Sandy Thatcher gave judicious criticism for the Pennsylvania State University Press. Many thanks to friends and colleagues who have read and talked about the project: Kevin Bundy, Jesse Goldhammer, Alexa Sand, Deborah Zafman, the “Gender Gang” at Berkeley, Nils Gilman, Sarah Kennel, Gaston Alonso, and Martyn Thompson. My students have also been a source of ideas and fresh thinking; my thanks in particular to the “Citizenship in a Changing World” seminar at Temple University and the “Feminist Research Methods” class at Tulane University. Betsy asked the usual piercing questions and Linza always seemed to show up at just the right time to take over with the kids.
