cknowledgements
This volume has received support from many sides for which the editors
wish to express their sincere gratefulness. First of all we would like to
thank the contributors for their patience, cooperation, and suggestions.
Special thanks goes to Wolfgang Reinhard for his stimulating keynote
lecture as well as to Bruce Grant and Michael Khodarkovsky for their
thought-provoking discussions at the conference Forms of Continental
Colonialism: The ‘Other’ Colonialism that took place in Halle (Saale) in
July 2016. We gratefully acknowledge their comments and recommen-
dations. We likewise feel indebted to Sara Crowley and Connie Li of
Palgrave Macmillan Publishers for keeping things rolling and to the pub-
lisher’s anonymous reader who noted ways of improvement. Last, but
not least, we thank the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in
Halle (Saale) for funding and organizing the conference.
