I would also like to thank those whose continuing encouragement and criticism have helped me articulate my positions more clearly: Myrna Kostash, Robbie Schwarzwald, Jery Zaslove, Pey- man Vahabzadeh, Richard Day, and George Rammel for the reference to the Declaration of the Lillooet Tribe. I would also like to mention two new interlocutors who appeared as this manuscript was nearing com- pletion: Johannes Maerk and Samir Gandesha. My gratitude is ex- tended to Andrew Bingham for the detailed research assistance that he undertook on the manuscript in its penultimate version. Contrary to al- most all my previous experience in this matter, the critical responses by the University of Toronto Press reviewers were very helpful. I am con- siderably in the debt of my editor at the Press, Len Husband, for the competence and care with which he handled the whole process. The institutional support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Council, through grant number 410-2005-0516, has been indispensable. This page intentionally left blank IDENTITY AND JUSTICE
