Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Jairus Banaji for suggesting that I write this book in the first place, and for providing encouragement and moral support while I was working on it. I am grateful to Sughosh Mazmundar and Shaku and Murad Banaji for helping me to get some of the books and articles I needed for it, and to Ashley Smith, Savi Hensman and Ammar Al-Ghabban for helpful suggestions on the text. Finally, my thanks to the Haymarket team, and especially to Nisha Bolsey, Miri Davidson and Rachel Cohen, for their help and support. If the book makes any contribution towards mobilising solidarity for the struggles described in it, that will be thanks to their inputs.
