ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book emerged from a meeting that took place at Yale University. For the first time, scholars in anthropology, political science, and religious studies gathered to explore why young people around the world are waiting longer to marry and form families. In these discussions, it became clear that some of this waithood is intentional, especially as young women around the world seek higher education. But some of this waithood is unintentional, especially as young men face barriers in an increasingly precarious global labor market. The scholars whose work is included in this volume examine this waithood phenomenon in a variety of different research settings around the world. We are proud of and grateful to these dedicated scholars, beginning with Prof. Diane Singerman of American University, who was the first to forward the waithood concept as a way to understand marriage delay in her fieldsite in urban Egypt.

At Yale, our gathering was hosted by The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, the Council on Middle East Studies (CMES), and the Department of Anthropology. Generous support was received from the Edward J. and Dorothy Clark Kempf Memorial Fund and the US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center, which supports Yale CMESs activities. At CMES, we are particularly grateful for the tireless organizational support of the CMES staff, including Cristin Siebert, CMES Program Director, and Marwa Khaboor, CMES Program Coordinator, who organized many details, from posters to flights to Middle Eastern meals. We also appreciate the support provided by the Yale Department of Anthropology, especially Jennifer DeChello, who was a tremendous facilitator of the meeting that occurred in the Anthropology departments beautiful seminar room.

We are very grateful for the excellent editorial suggestions made by our colleague Lisa L. Wynn of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. The book also benefited from the meticulous professional copyediting services of Bonnie Rose Schulman and the expert indexing services of Larry D. Sweazy. This books beautiful cover image was provided by Dr. Idris Thaha, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah, Jakarta, Indonesia, and was artistically enhanced by our friend and colleague Mary-Jo DelVecchio Good of Harvard University.

Finally, we thank the dedicated editorial team of the Fertility, Reproduction, and Sexuality series at Berghahn Books, especially the founding series editor Soraya Tremayne, assistant editor Tom Bonnington, and publisher Marion Berghahn. We are fortunate to be part of Berghahn Books efforts to support innovate, cutting-edge anthropological research.
