Acknowledgments In a certain sense, this is the most difficult part of the book to write. So many people have done so much to make this work possible that I cannot begin to acknowledge them in any adequate manner. But here it goes: Rosaura Sánchez and Lisa Lowe for their unwavering support, intellectual guidance, and solid political commitments; my parents, Leota and Burl, for life, sustenance, and unconditional love; my brother Stan for forging a fiercely independent path for me to follow; Sandra Angeleri and Ricardo Bracho, my brilliant and beautiful ideological partners-in-crime; Helen Jun for the sheer fun of it all; and Stephen Wu for his boundless enthusiasm for all that is wondrous in the world. Mentors and interlocutors: Barbara Harlow, David Lloyd, Inderpal Grewal, Lisa Yoneyama, Shelley Streeby, and Masao Miyoshi. Comrades and confidants: Albert Lowe, Amie Parry, Barry Masuda, Beatrice Pita, Ben Ehrenreich, Boone Nguyen, Chandan Reddy, David Hernandez, David Mueller, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Dylan Rodríguez, Ernest Hardy, Gerard Koskovich, Grace Hong, James Tobler, Jason Ortiz, Jennifer Sternad, Jodi Kim, Jorge Cortiñas, Keith Camacho, Keith Harris, Kevin Pimentel, Kulvinder Aurora, Lisa Cacho, Malik Dohrn, Miguel Gutierrez, Ofelia Cuevas, Pedro Bustos-Aguilar, Rubén Martínez, Ryan Kahl, Setsu Shigematsu, Spenger Charles, Tania Triana, Tede Matthews, Victor Bascara. Publishers: the talented and committed folks at the University of Minnesota Press, especially my astute and kind editor, Richard Morrison; editorial consultant Roderick Ferguson for getting behind this project; the anonymous readers who gave me excellent revision suggestions and more work to do; and John Eagleson for patiently pouring over every word. Influences: Everyone whose work is referenced in this book (and some who are not, but will be in the next one). Finally, to all those past and present who have struggled, collectively and privately, for a different kind of world. Kayn, this includes you. ix This page intentionally left blank ...
