Acknowledgments
This book is the product of extensive research and several years of collaboration and dialogue with many individuals and groups to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. It would not have been possible without the generous funding I received from the faculty development grant at Portland State University. The book would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of various individuals, organizations and institutions, both inside and outside of West Africa. My foremost thanks goes to all those individuals and civil society organizations and grassroots community groups that are working every day to draw attention to the core issues covered in this book. Their support and guidance provided rich materials that helped in making this endeavor feasible. A big thank you to all those who took time out of their busy schedule to meet with me or share ideas via different mediums throughout the process of writing this book, including PC David Mandu Farley Keili-Coomber of Mandu Chiefdom, Sierra Leone, whose incisive knowledge of local laws and natural resource owenership proved invaluable.
