5 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments This book aims to provide a balanced guide through many complex migration issues. While I have been settled in New Zealand for most of my life, I have also undertaken two major transcontinental migrations at earlier stages. These different experiences have helped me appreciate both migrants’ perspectives as well as those of longer settled community members. In this book, I aim to capture at least these two perspectives on many multilayered debates. Many thanks are owed to the students, colleagues, friends, and fellow migrants who have been discussing issues of migration and political theory with me over the years. Special thanks are also owed to Stephen Davies and the team at Polity, especially Julia Davies and George Owers. For excellent comments on a draft of this manuscript, I am grateful to George Owers and four anonymous reviewers for Polity.
