A Ac ck kn no ow wl le ed dg gm me en nt ts s This book could not be published without the support of many people. Jean-Pierre Mileur, the Dean of Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, financially supported the second “Race, Ethnicity and Place Conference (REP II) in 2004, which was the impetus of this book. We are very grateful to him. Orlando Taylor, Graduate Dean of Howard University, and Douglas Richardson, Executive Director of the Association of American Geographers, also financially sponsored REP II, which was held on the campus of Howard University, and served with John W. Frazier as co-directors of that Conference. This book could not have come to fruition without their support and the support of their staffs. We thank them, too. We similarly acknowledge the strong support of our entire Binghamton Geography faculty. In particular , we thank Florence M. Margai, who served on the 2003–2004 REP II Planning Committee and contributed a chapter to this text. Norah F. Henry, Associate Dean for Administration, and Mark E. Reisinger provided constructive criticism on a number of the chapters in this volume. Lucius S. Willis and Kevin Heard contributed many of the original graphics and improved others used in the text. We thank these colleagues for their time and talents. We also thank all of our authors, who not only agreed to restructure their conference presentations into a form suitable for undergraduates, but responded promptly to our requests and those of reviewers for changes in their manuscripts. We gratefully acknowledge the constructive criticism of several anonymous reviewers; their suggestions improved the volume. Thanks are also due to Jennifer Fox Frazier, who served as our editorial assistant. Finally, we are especially grateful for the thoughtful guidance, suggestions, and assistance of the entire staff of Global Academic Publishing. We especially express our thanks to Mary Beth Willis, Director of Publications, Angela Hwang, Marketing Director, and publication staff, Lori Vandermark Fuller, Jennifer Winans, and Ashley Rambus.
