Most immediately influential have been the pheno- menal scholars with whom I worked while editing, with Michelle Ann Stephens, the collection Archipelagic American Studies (Duke University Press, 2017). I found many of Borderwaters’ major contours in the p ro cess of reading, commenting on, pushing, and being pushed by the essays contributed to that volume by Lanny Thompson, Elaine Stratford, Craig Santos Perez, Etsuko Taketani, Susan Gillman, Yolanda Martínez- San Miguel, Joseph Keith, Nicole A. Waligora- Davis, John Carlos Rowe, Cherene Sherrard- Johnson, Brandy Nālani McDougall, Hsinya Huang, Ramón E. Soto- Crespo, Alice Te Punga Somerville, Matthew Pratt Guterl, J. Michael Dash, Birte Blascheck, Teresia K. Teaiwa, Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo, Allan Punzalan Isaac, and Paul Giles. Of course, as Michelle and I collaborated in conceptualizing and writing the introduction for Archipelagic American Studies, and as we have brainstormed and presented together over the years, her keen thought, insights, and friendship have been indispensable to my own thinking. I have also benefited from the thought of friends and colleagues in- volved in other overlapping collaborative proj ects. I am grateful to have worked collaboratively with Mary Eyring, Hester Blum, Iping Liang, Chris Lynn, and Fidalis Buehler to edit the 2019 special forum “Archi- pelagoes/Oceans/American Visuality,” published in the Journal of Trans- national American Studies. During the editing pro cess, I was inspired by the work of our many featured scholars and artists: Ryan Charlton, L. Katherine Smith, Emalani Case, Cherene Sherrard-J ohnson, Kathleen DeGuzman, Zachary Tavlin, Matthew Hitchman, Tashima Thomas, Christo Javacheff, Jeanne- Claude Denat de Guillebon, Tiara R.
