All social change is the product of collaboration. This book reflects what we have learned from the many activists, colleagues, and campaigners we have had the privilege of working alongside, involved in all kinds of struggles for change across the world. They are far too many to mention individually, but we remain grateful to them all just the same.

Our fantastic editor and collaborator, Kay Parris, transformed the final outcome of our book with her ideas, sense of narrative, razor-sharp copy-honing skills, and persistent advocacy for you, dear reader, when NGO jargon and activist waffle reared their ugly heads.

We are enormously thankful to Jon Sisk, Benjamin Knepp, and all the team at Rowman & Littlefield for believing in this book and backing it through the pressures of the Covid-19 crisis.
