Acknowledgements

Growing up I can remember my mother often reminding me that as we make our way through life we must never forget that our achievements are the combination of our individual talents and efforts and the interventions of others. It is now I would like to recognize and offer thanks to the many individuals who played a role in helping me reach this goal. I’d like to first offer thanks to the wonderful editors at Palgrave who took me through the various steps in making my manuscript become an actual book. To my editor Mary AL-Sayed, I want to thank you for believing in my project, patiently answering all of my questions, providing sound advice, and staying on top of me to meet all of the necessary deadlines. Next I’d like to thank my professors in the sociology department at Drexel University, Drs. Elizabeth Petras and Julia Hall for exposing me to the intellectual power of sociology through their teaching and support given to me outside of class. My biggest thanks goes
