Acknowledgements

Many people have been directly and indirectly involved in the creation of this volume, too many to name individually. Our gratitude is of a kind, which can hardly be expressed in the form of a simple acknowledgement.

This book evolved from the International Conference Saying I is Full of Consequences. Refugee Women Reclaim their Identity. The thought provoking papers at this conference inspired us to pursue the exploration of the complex refugee women's identity question and its vital implications. The conference was organized by the Program of Women's Studies at McMaster University and the Settlement and Integration Services Organization (SISO) of Hamilton, Canada. We gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and of the Program of Women's Studies of McMaster. We express our gratitude to The Settlement and Integration Services Organization of Hamilton for facilitating our collaboration with refugee women.

We express our respectful appreciation to each of the authors in this volume for their willingness to contribute to the enrichment of the ongoing interdisciplinary discourse on refugee women. Many authors tirelessly combine their scholarly pursuits with activities such as field work, advocacy, therapy, settlement, lecturing, or legal representation. Each author has forged new directions which will address root causes, and as is our hope, will enhance the visibility and presence of refugee women and ensure their rights. We thank them for the diligence in which they met deadlines and for their patience with the publication process.
