Acknowledgments
This project would not have been possible without the support of many individuals and organizations. To begin, we thank the Worcester State Foundation—Office of University Advancement for their grant. We also thank our patient and incredibly efficient copyeditor, Cyndy Brown. This volume has benefited from conversations with all of the contributors as well as with Natalia Polito and Milton Fernando González-Rodríguez. We are grateful for your hard work, patience, and understanding through each stage. The ideas for this volume have been germinating for years. Sofía thanks Adrián Pérez-Melgosa for his insightful comments on her initial ideas presented at the first MLA conference about domestic labor and the US– Mexico border, as well as her partner, Melissa, for her unconditional love, support, and patience throughout the project. Elizabeth’s research is indebted to her Worcester State family—Elena Cuffari, Vicki Gruzynski, Naida Saavedra, and Alex Tarr—a
