The seeds for this project were sown soon after I moved to Boston in 1996. ect -

n
Although I was a new Assistant Professor, I was already interested in tack- Co
e
ling this topic at some future date. Many of my peers would have been av
gr
enticed to jump headfirst into a new project. The fashion conscious—or Pal
fashionistas, according to some of my friends—wait with gleeful anticipa- m -
u
tion for the latest trends; they are first in line to gleefully don the most orti
s
n
recent craze. Like some of the individuals discussed in this book, they o
C
blissfully submit to their innermost and fervent passions. Many academ- ok
o
B
ics do likewise. They can be tempted to stop what they were doing, or e
n
a
shelve their current research agenda, in order to jump into an exciting w
Tai
and novel line of inquiry. Despite temptation I heeded the wise counsel of o
d t
many who warned me that junior faculty needed to focus their efforts on se
n
a narrow topic and wait until they were tenured before leaping into new ce
adventures. Indeed, over the years, I saw one to many brilliant academics m - li
o
c
enticed, like Icarus, to fly too close to the sun. Painful as it was I heeded ct.
e
their counsel. nn

Without institutional support I could not have completed this project ve
a
in a timely manner. From my home department, I deeply appreciate the gr
al
p
help I received from my chairman, John Portz. To our dedicated staff, w.
w
especially Barbara Chin and Janet-Louise Joseph, all I can do is quote m w
o
Tina Turner and say, “Simply the Best!” I appreciate the support of my al fr
Dean, Bruce Ronkin, and his staff. I researched a portion of this project eri
at
while on a Visiting Fellowship at the Chaim Herzog Center for Middle m
ht
East Studies and Diplomacy at Ben Gurion University in 2005. There I yrig
was introduced to a remarkable group of scholars who were gladly will- op
C
ing to share their insights. I am profoundly indebted to my host at Ben
Gurion, Yoram Meital, and his outstanding assistants—particularly Dvo-
rah Kramer and Aliza Uzen-Swisa—for making that fellowship a possibil-
ity and a delight.
This project would never have been possible without the input of many
friends and colleagues. Through casual chats, conversations, and quite a
