xiii Contents xiii Acknowledgments We are grateful to the contributors who made this collection possible, and who are helping to stake out new terrain in studies of representations of segregation. We are grateful in particular to Joycelyn Moody, who provided steadfast support of this project in its earliest stages when she was editor of African American Review; Cheryl Wall, who signed on early to help us see the possibilities opened up by this line of inquiry; Trudier Harris who leant her discerning mind to the task of thinking about segregation today in light of segregation yesterday; and Shawn Michelle Smith who chose this endeavor to début her original visual art series. Our student research assistants JoSann Lien, JoLynn Graubart, and Angeline Henrickson provided valuable help during the process. We are fortunate that this project found a home at SUNY Press. We are thankful to our editor Larin McLaughlin for her enthusiastic support, as well as the rest of the folks at SUNY, especially Andrew Kenyon, Gary Dunham, Michelle Alamillo, Diane Ganeles, Michael Campochiaro, and Robin Weisberg. We are also grateful to Aileen Keenan at African American Review for her gracious assistance at each phase. 찝 A special issue of African American Review 42.1 (2008) featured earlier versions of the pieces by Elizabeth Abel, Shawn Michelle Smith, Trudier Harris, Lori Robison and Eric Wolfe, Anne P.
