Acknowledgments
We would like to fi rst thank the intelligent, patient, and supportive folks at Columbia
University Press—especially the late John Michel, Lauren Dockett, and Susan Pensak.
We would also would also like to thank Basil Wilson and Gerald Lynch of John Jay Col-
lege of Criminal Justice who both supported and defended the conference that served
as the mother of this book. We would also like to recognize Dwight Conquergood,
Hector Torres, “China” Valdez, Richie Perez, and Rita Fecher, all founding members of
the conference and now playing with the street angels in a globalized heaven. Finally,
we would like to note the fi ne work of Henry Chalfant and Luis Barrios as well as the
William T. Grant Foundation for their generous support of the conference.
