Acknowledgments
First of all, I would like to express my special gratitude to David White for his dedicated copyediting of not only the English expressions but also the content. Without his help, my project could not have been completed. I have to give my heartfelt thanks to Michael Washington and Yasue Kuwahara of Northern Kentucky University for the laborious task of reading and correcting my original drafts. I am indebted to Stanley Forman, a Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist, for the use of his photo of the Boston school busing disputes. Special thanks also to Kimberly Guinta, the executive editor of Rutgers University Press, for encouraging me to revise the manuscripts. I want to thank Sara Crowley-Vigneau, Connie Li, Rachel Hurley, and Ulagathan Abirami of Palgrave Macmillan for their precise advice and necessary assistance to me. I thank Judy Wu of the University of California, Irvine, for encouraging me to publish a book in English. Without her encouragement, my project would have never started. I owe a very important debt to Thomas J. Sugrue of New York University, a longtime friend of mine in the United States. Lastly, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Sachiko Kawashi
