In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

T his collection has had a long gestation. It is important to acknowledge that it has depended upon the collaboration and contributions of many people. First, I would like to thank each of the contributors for their effort and patience. I have valued the opportunity to work with such a dynamic and decent group of academic colleagues. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Jacqueline Larson, acquisitions editor at Wilfrid Laurier University Press. This volume has benefited enormously from her commitment to and enthusiasm for this project. In addition, I appreciate the hard work and diligence of Cheryl Lemmens, copy editor, and Carroll Klein, managing editor at Wilfrid Laurier University Press. I am also grateful to the anonymous reviewers for their comments, which helped to strengthen the collection. The production of this book was supported by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. I appreciate and acknowledge the many ways in which Vappu Tyyskä, Joanne Naiman, Luin Goldring, Zoë Newman, and Engin Isin have enriched the theoretical ideas that underpin this volume. Finally, I would like to thank George Bougadis and Joshua Bougadis for being my greatest source of support. — Cheryl Teelucksingh vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...
