Above all, I wish to thank Umm Mahmud, whose patience, perspicacity, and companionship during my fieldwork, and in the years since, have been critical to the realization of this work. I would like to thank the many individuals who graciously opened their homes and their lives to me, shared their joys and sorrows, trusted me, and were willing to reflect on the complexities of their experience as Palestinians in Lebanon. The friendships I made in Shatila, and the extraordinary spiritedness, generosity, and humor of the people I have met there over the years, have inspired this work and enriched my own life in ways that extend far beyond this text. My greatest debt is to the people whose lives it describes. Thanking those who have helped to bring it into being reveals the contours of its evolution and the constellation of felicitous circumstances that made it possible. This book owes much to the support of many.
