From the first ideas to the final product, many, many people are involved in its development. This book grew out of what started as a dissertation project in 2006 at the University of Illinois at Chicago, but has since evolved into so much more. Therefore, I want to start by thanking my incredible teachers at UIC, who helped me become the scholar that I am today. The spark that inspired everything was David Perry’s Ph.D. seminar on Contested Cities at the College of Urban Planning and Public Administration at UIC, one of the most stimulating and interesting seminars I have taken in my life, and I will forever remem- ber all his excellent intellectual advice. But I was also inspired by the social context of Chicago. Had I not moved there on that sweltering day in early August 2004, this book would have never been written. Dennis Judd, then graduate director for the Department of Political Science at UIC, was the first professor in Chicago I ever communicated with. His advice and intel- lectual feedback during my first year of graduate studies laid the founda- tion for a way of thinking. My dissertation chair, Sultan Tepe, an incredible role model, has always pushed me to take my mind one step further, to bend it around one more corner. Her amazing intellect and strength were and continue to be both foundation and inspiration for my work. Her gen- uine interest in her students’ intellectual growth makes her one of the best teachers I have ever known! Anthony Orum at the Department of Sociology at UIC and Garbi Schmidt, now at Roskilde University, Denmark, were also irreplaceable intellectual advisors on my dissertation, and their feedback was indispen- sable in moving this project along. During my field research in Berlin, I found a home at the Research Unit for Migration, Integration, and Transnationalization at the Wissenschaft- szentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung; I would like to thank Marc Helbling ix
