Habitat International Coalition (HIC) would like to warmly thank the many people who contributed directly or indirectly to this research. First of all, we want to thank all of those at the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) who supported this project through the past years, including Patricia L. McCarney, who is no longer with IDRC but is responsible for having initiated the collaboration between HIC and IDRC on the theme, and everyone at the IDRC offices in Ottawa who contributed to making this book possible. Most special mention is due to Denise Deby for all of her efforts to guide the development of the manuscript toward publication and for continuing to work with us to further advance our research activities. Although it is impossible to mention all their names, the dozens of people who formed part of each of the research teams that carried out and prepared the case studies deserve special recognition. Many of these people were the authors of the case studies; the work of countless others at the local and national levels must unfortunately remain anonymous, but no less valuable. HIC would also like to express its deep gratitude to the academic advisors on this project, Antonio Azuela and Emilio Duhau, who, in addition to guiding the research process, drafted the concluding chapter. We also thank Miloon Kothari and Scott Leckie of the HIC-affiliated Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions for their role as commentators on the studies at the workshop in Santo Domingo. Thanks also go to all those at the HIC Secretariat who managed the intercontinental coordination of this project. Finally, we must express our most sincere gratitude to the social movements and the nongovernmental organizations whose struggles are the focus of these studies. Their collaboration in sharing information and experiences provided the content for the case studies. But most important, their years of painful sacrifice and struggle, the obstacles and setbacks they suffered on the way, and the creative and courageous ways they found to continuously develop, adapt, and advance their cause provide lessons for us all.
