Joel Quirk has been a consistent sounding board andbenchmarkforallmyacademicworkandcontinuestohelpme expandtheseideasinnewdirections. The empirical research for the chapter on the British Empire was made possible through support received from a British Academy UK/Africa Grant. This grant allowed me to conduct research at the BritishLibraryandtotakeupafellowshipattheUniversityofOxford. I wrote most of the final draft during a research fellowship at the MaxPlanckInstituteforReligiousandEthnicDiversityinGöttingen and received generous encouragement from Steven Vertovec there.
