Acknowledgements
We would like to thank all those who shared their experiences and scholarship and the participating indigenous and minority groups who made these studies possible and made the set of collective insights available to a larger audience. We also thank the Rockefeller Foundation, the Royal Tropical Institute, the Institute of Development Studies, the Directoraat Generaal Internationale Samenwerking and the Wellcome Trust for their support in hosting a conference at the Villa Serbelloni Conference Centre in Bellagio, Italy, where we were able to work on some of the articles in this volume during a conference entitled ‘Transforming Health Systems to Serve the Wellbeing of Indigenous and Minority Peoples’.
