Andrea would like to thank Burkard, Clarinha, Claudia and Renata for their love and support. She would like to dedicate this book to the memory of her friend Azoilda Loretto da Trindade, a pioneer in the fight against racism in education in Brazil.

The editors would like to acknowledge the important role of Ann Ludbrook and Cheryl Fraser, from the TMU Library, encouraging and helping us through the publication process.  We could not have done it without you!
