acknowledgments<br />

First of all, I must thank my wife Renée and my daughter Nyla for sustaining<br />

me as I worked on this project day and night. I thank Leslie<br />

Mitchner for being so receptive to reprinting A <strong>Long</strong> <strong>Way</strong> from <strong>Home</strong><br />

and for encouraging me as I prepared the manuscript. I am grateful to<br />

Amritjit Singh, Carla L. Peterson, and C. Lok Chua, the editors of the<br />

Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the Americas series, for their support of the<br />

project. Above all, Carla has been an excellent <strong>de</strong>partmental mentor at<br />

the University of Maryland, College Park, and her unerring critical eye<br />

was crucial to my writing of the introduction. Of course, I accept the<br />

blame for any of the problems and mistakes that may have slipped<br />

through the editorial cracks.<br />
