Cosmopolitan Capitalists: Hong Kong and the Chinese Diaspora at the End of the 20th Century, by Gary G. Hamilton (ed.)

I would like to thank a number of people who helped make this book a reality. Most importantly, I want to thank those who helped me develop and run the seminar series from which these essays emerged. Resat Kasaba, the Director of the Center for International Studies, asked me to organize the seminar series and supported it generously. Additional and equally generous support also came from David Bachman, Director of the Center for Chinese Studies, and Susan Jeffords, Divisional Dean of the Social Sciences. I also want to thank the students in the graduate course on ethnicity and nationalism (SIS 522) that ran concurrently with the seminar series. They read and commented on each of the essays presented, and their advice was conveyed to the authors for their consideration during the revision process.

The book would not have been possible without two other people: Michael Duckworth at the University of Washington Press, who promoted an unfinished project and then pushed for the final manuscript, and Jarrett Paschel, who cheerfully learned Pagemaker in order to format the revisions as soon as they came in. Finally I want to thank Eleanor Hamilton, who read and commented on several chapters.
