ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My personal circumstances forced me to move and adapt to different places and peoples, and I am happy to say that everything I learned is marked by my migratory and intercultural experiences. I encourage anybody in similar circumstances to move forward, no matter the efforts she has to make, to be able to make the most of our world. It certainly is a challenge, however, to acknowledge all of the people scattered in three continents who helped in so many ways to carry this project through.
The financial support of several institutions was essential for completion of this project. A joint Fulbright/Spanish Ministry of Education scholarship supported me during my Ph.D. training. My fieldwork and the writing of my dissertation were financed by generous grants from the National Science Foundation (SBR-94/11667), the Institute for International Studies at Stanford, the Mellon Foundation, and Stanfords Department of Anthropology. I also thank the American Anthropological Association, the Law and Society Association, and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University for support to attend conferences where I received important feedback for this work.
My primary thanks go to George A. and Jane F. Collier, both of whom have helped and guided me since I began graduate studies at Stanford. I am deeply indebted to them for their consistent commitment to furthering my work, for their personal and professional support, and for their endless generosity. Jane F. Collier introduced me to anthropology of law and she has been the single most important influence in my interest in the culture of modernity. As my advisor, George A. Collier taught me much about methods and ethnohistorical analysis; but above all, I thank the legacy of American anthropology he transmitted to me. As a classical master, he taught me how to be a good anthropologist in the field as well as in the academic environmentand most especially, how to be a good advisor in the future with my own students.
