Acknowledgement
I wish to acknowledge the authors for each of their contributions; peer reviewers for their critical feedback on the articles; editors of Pedagogies for welcoming the topic; and, last but not the least, Center for the Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis for a seminar series grant that prompted a scholarly forum for the perspectives represented here. Additional funding was provided by the Programs in African and African American Studies, American Culture Studies, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Department of Education, and Center on Urban Research and Public Policy. The opinions represented here, however, do not necessarily reflect any of these units.
