Acknowledgments

Bringing Down Divides is a labor of love in honor of Greg Maney and advances the scholarship that Greg enjoyed and supported. Maney was the Wachtel Distinguished Professor for the Study of Nonviolent Social Change, a Professor of Sociology, and the Director of the Center for Civic Engagement at Hofstra University. Being a scholar, especially one who wore so many hats and devoted extensive time to mentoring undergraduates and other scholars, surely took Greg’s time away from his family. Thus, we hope this volume will help his wife Mary Coyle and son Enzo see the impact of that time and how grateful so many of us are for the work of our colleague and friend.

A number of scholars were needed to make this book a reality. First, the extraordinary remembrance of Greg’s life at Hofstra University in October 2017 brought together people who appreciated Greg’s life and work, and culminated in the idea of this volume. The speakers informed the editors about the breadth of Greg’s work and influence, well beyond those we had worked on with Greg. As Editor of RSMCC, Patrick G. Coy suggested this series as the perfect home for advancing knowledge in the spirit of Greg’s work.

We are grateful to the contributors to Bringing Down Divides. The authors of the lead chapters, Lee A. Smithey, Joshua Satre, Sharon Erickson Nepstad, Charlotte Ryan, and Gregory Squires provided excellent submissions illuminating each type of divide. We also thank all the authors who submitted work to this volume, whether or not they made it into the book, because they saw the value of this topic. Those published herein, Michelle I. Gawerc, William F. Danaher, Trisha L. Crawshaw, Mustafa Yavaş, Cécile Mouly, Esperanza Hernández Delgado, María Belén Garrido, Vera Heuer, and Pamela Oliver, advance the field and impressively connected their research to Bringing Down Divides. The afterword was written under tight timing constraints, and we thank Patrick G. Coy and Lynne M. Woehrle for fondly providing more details about Greg’s scholarship.

We appreciate the guidance and patience of the Emerald Group Publishing staff: Editorial Director of Humanities and Social Sciences, Philippa Grand, and Editorial Assistant, Rachel Ward. The Chapman University Graduate Editorial Assistant, Paige Gulley, helped with crucial copy editing and organization that brought Volume 43 to life.

Finally, all of the non-lead chapters were double-blind peer-reviewed, and this volume would not have come to fruition without the gracious time and talents of the following people, most of whom reviewed chapters twice: Mike Anastario, Victor Asal, Shane Barter, Cynthia Boaz, Kevin Carragee, Chares Demetriou, Josefina Echavarría, Yuval Feinstein, Michelle Gawerc, Adria Goodson, Yifat Gutman, Kelsy Kretchmer, Lester Kurtz, Amalia Perez Martin, Juan Masullo, Liora Norwich, Salvador Marti Puig, Preethi K Ramaswamy, Pete Simi, Tijen Demirel-Pegg, Mario Diani, Doron Shultziner, Matt Williams, and Omer Yair.
