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

xiii acknowledgments W e have had support from three wonderful institutions—the Russell Sage Foundation (RSF), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the department of Sociology and Center for Survey Research (CSR) at indiana university—that have provided the funding and in the CSR’s case, survey expertise, that allowed us to design and conduct our surveys. We first began the project when manza was a fellow at Russell Sage in New York in 2005–2006, where he benefited immensely from a superb collection of social scientists and the warm support and intellectual guidance of RSF president eric Wanner. We later received an RSF grant, as well as two NSF grants, that enabled us to continue our work and conduct the 2009 and 2010 surveys we draw upon in the book. We have also had the good fortune to call on friends and colleagues for guidance and assistance, as well as the opportunity to present our work to a variety of scholarly audiences. We would like to thank Fernández albertos, arthur alderson, Robert andersen, Stephen Benard, david Brady, Paul Burstein, ines Calzada, Kyle dodson, Jamie druckman, david Grusky, timothy hallett, Nikole hotchkiss, michael hout, Koen Jonkers, John Levi martin, Joe margulies, Javier moreno, Patricia mcmanus , Sigrun olafsdottir, Robert Robinson, Stefan Svallfors, John torpey , and especially Paul Sniderman for comments and help with the project . We also benefited from suggestions provided by two RSF reviewers. We presented parts of this project at annual meetings of the american Sociological association, the CuNY Graduate Center, Florida State university , Princeton university, Rutgers university, the university of toronto , and the university of Washington, where we benefited from feedback and discussion with seminar participants.
