ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The conception and cultivation of this work owes so much to the exceptional community of friends and interlocutors who formed the mainstay of my life when I was in the Literature Department at University of California at San Diego, and who have remained so, despite our various relocations. My gratitude and affection is due those most intimate with this project, who shared it from the start to near finish: John David Blanco, Fatima El-Tayeb, Yen Le Espiritu, Roderick Ferguson, Takashi Fujitani, the late Rosemary Marangoly George, Jack Halberstam, Grace Kyungwon Hong, Sara Johnson, Nicole King, Curtis Marez, Chandan Reddy, Nayan Shah, Stephanie Smallwood, Shelley Streeby, Daniel Widener, and Lisa Yoneyama. In the later stages, the work benefited significantly from the attention of Kris K. Manjapra, Justin Leroy, and Elaine Freedgood.

For everything from interested conversation to personal and intellectual support, I am grateful to friends old and new: Patrick Anderson, Swaminathan Badrinath, Victor Bascara, Ali Behdad, Kandice Chuh, Dana Cuff, John Daly, Kevin Daly, Cathy Davidson, Michael Davidson, Pawan Dhingra, Page duBois, Ann duCille, Lee Edelman, David Eng, Ken Foster, Richard Fung, Macarena Gomez-Barris, Gayatri Gopinath, Avery Gordon, Matthew Frye Jacobson, Walter Johnson, Moon-Ho Jung, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Aisha Khan, Elaine H. Kim, Susan Kirkpatrick, Dorothy Ko, Joseph Litvak, H. Adlai Murdoch, Joseph Nebolon, Christopher Newfield, David Palumbo-Liu, Kamran Rastegar, Teemu Ruskola, Christina Sharpe, Brett St. Louis, Neferti X. M. Tadiar, Yingjin Zhang, and Oumelbanine Zhiri.

This project has been influenced and inspired by thinkers whose work has transformed not only fields, objects, and methods of study, but also the very questions we ask, and how and why we ask them. There are a number of scholars to whom I express respect and admiration: Susan Buck-Morss, Judith Butler, Hazel Carby, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Kuan-Hsing Chen, James Clifford, Page duBois, David Theo Goldberg, Catherine Hall, the late Stuart Hall, Donna Haraway, Saidiya Hartman, Amy Kaplan, Walton Look Lai, Uday Singh Mehta, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Warren Montag, David Noble, Cedric Robinson, David Roediger, Naoki Sakai, the late Edward Said, Ann Laura Stoler, Hayden White, and Sylvia Wynter. A great many more are acknowledged through the works cited and drawn on here.

I am indebted to numerous people who have generously provided invaluable academic support over the years: Judith Butler, Cathy Davidson, the late Emory Elliott, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Françoise Lionnet, and David Theo Goldberg. The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation; the Rockefeller Foundation; the Ford Foundation; the Office of the University of California President; UC San Diego Academic Senate grants; the UC Humanities Research Institute; the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute and Hutchins Center at Harvard University; the School of Advanced Study, University of London; and the Dean of Arts and Sciences and the English Department at Tufts University supported my research. Walton Look Lai has been a guiding light, sharing his vast experience and erudition when I first visited Trinidad, answering questions and offering advice since. Margot Finn and Kate Smith of the East India Company at Home project and Rosemary Crill at the Victoria and Albert Museum kindly assisted my research in London.
