My research could never have taken place without the support, generosity, and openness of Zinneke Parade and all those involved.

In particular, Myriam Stoffen, Executive Director of Zinneke, has provided me with continued encouragement and support throughout this process beginning in late 2008 when she and I first 'met' via email.

Whereas l'Equipe Z has provided continuous support, granting me access and speaking (positively!) on my behalf, this research could never have taken place without the institutional and financial support of the Center for Ethnic & Migration Studies (CEDEM) and the Université de Liège (ULg).

In particular, Dr. Marco Martiniello, CEDEM Director, has provided me with support before and throughout my fieldwork and has promoted my project from its start and leading to funding from the Université de Liège without which I would not be in Belgium.
