He has emerged as one of the most significant critics of identity politics today if I have not cited him in this book, it is only to avoid confusing readers. I have probably not had a single idea in my life that was not formed in some kind of dialogue with my brother, Shuja Haider. Any remaining errors are my own responsibility. Sarah Grey’s precise and perceptive copy editing gave the text an indispensable refinement. The historical details of the manuscript were reviewed by Emma Teitelman, Tim Barker, and Matt Karp, whose encouragement I greatly appreciated.
Along the way I have come to collaborate with the entire Viewpoint collective, and all of them have been valued readers, critics, and interlocutors. My adventures in publishing began with an intellectual and political collaboration with Salar Mohandesi, whose influence is present throughout this book. Sahota, Jason Smith, Alberto Toscano, Delio Vasquez, Gavin Walker, and Philip Wohlstetter. I will mention here those who discussed these questions with me in the whirlwind of political practice, those who encouraged me to record my thoughts and helped me to make them comprehensible, and those who valiantly read and commented on the entire draft: Robert Cavooris, Deborah Gould, Erin Gray, Evan Grupsmith, David Lau, Patrick King, Wendell Hassan Marsh, Dave Mesing, G.S. I cannot possibly mention them all, but I hope they all recognize my enormous gratitude. Indeed, these ideas were produced collectively along with friends, comrades, and colleagues. Both were also valued interlocutors in the formation of the ideas this book presents.
