ACK NOW LED GMENT S

While having our names on the cover indicates our willingness to ac-

cept full responsibil ity for any errors, a large number of individuals

have assisted, supported and inspired our wr iting of this book. The

following is a necessarily incomplete list of these indiv iduals.

Our f‌irst acknowledgement must go to our publisher. In particular,

we are indebted to Jeffrey Miller who ever so patiently and with good

humour dealt with the queries of two novice s and the wholly unreason-

able r equest s we have m ade of hi m. Without hi s wholehea rted commit-

ment to this book, it would neither have been wr itten nor published.

We would also like to thank our copy editor Jo Roberts for ma naging to

wrestle the st ylistic peccadi llo’s of two authors into the single unif‌ied

text that is before you.

We must also acknowledge the role played by the Centre for Refu-

gee Studies at York University in the writing of this book. The Centre

has provided an invigorating and encouraging env ironment for the re-

search and discussion of refugee issues. O ur ability to discuss ideas

with others at the Centre sim ilarly engaged with refugee issues has also

proved invaluable to the writing of this book.

Martin would like to thank his colleag ues in Toronto, Washington

D.C. and London who tolerated his inattention to other projects while

writing this book. For their friendship, support and assistance, An ita

Fabos, Susan McGrath, Michele Millard, Jame s Hathaway and Shar ryn

Aiken deserve sp ecial mention. An additional thank you is due to James

Hathaway for providing space and time for both quiet contemplation

and frenetic engagement in Ann Arbor as this project came to a close;

in short, for inspiring a second-wi nd, without which this book would

not have been f‌inished. Final ly, Martin must than k his family; to mum,
