5 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments I would like to thank Jonathan Skerrett at Polity for encouraging this project and for his supportive advice throughout the process, from idea to proposal to publication. I am also grateful to the three anonymous reviewers for their helpful suggestions on a first draft of the manuscript. I thank Manuela Tecusan for her very attentive and thorough copy-editing of the manuscript. Eviatar Zerubavel’s passion for thinking about big topics in analytically creative ways continues to inspire my own thinking. I am grateful for his ongoing enthusiasm and intellectual guidance. I thank Lorenzo Sabetta for the many stimulating conversations we have had on issues related to identity and the unmarked. He came from Italy to study with me for a year, as a postdoctoral fellow, and I am indebted to him for our friendship. I also thank Jay Gubrium for our many interesting discussions about identity and for his encouragement as a colleague. I thank my wife Rachel, who has helped me think through ideas, has read through and commented on drafts and revisions, and has been a tremendous source of intellectual and moral support.
