Faced now with the task of acknowledging the advice, readings, and patience of so many people who helped in the writing of this book, I would like to thank them collectively for demonstrating to me the importance of belonging to an intellectual community. Most of all, I wish to thank my professors from Wesleyan and Yale, who continue to inspire me so many years later. 7 Realism as Resistance
