ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Editing this collection was significantly helped by the fact that, as Dawn Chatty suggested, the chapters were submitted for a round of comments among the contributors themselves. We would like to thank Sean Kingston at Berghahn Books for his support throughout the production of this volume. We would also like to thank Dr Mike Taylor, now working in Botswana, for the excellent work he put into drafting the maps and for helping us compile the manuscript. We are very grateful to Carole Berger for her help with the proofs and index.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Department of Anthropology at Goldsmiths College for their help in hosting the original seminar from which this collection arose.
