This pandemic has laid bare how precarious the balance of work and caring labor is for professional women in most of the world. Working on this project through the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought the labor of care into relief in unexpected ways. Special appreciation goes to Rhacel Parreñas for her early support of the project and my work, as well as to her and Hung Cam Thai for their inclusion of this book in this series. I offer thanks to Marcela Maxfield, Sunna Juhn, Cindy Lim, and the editorial and production staff at Stanford University Press. Sydney Silverstein’s keen eye and generous feedback were invaluable.
Discussions with Ellen Foley, Erik Vickstrom, Caroline Faria, Julie Kleinman, Abena Osseo-Assare, and Joanna Davidson shaped this project in myriad ways, and their interest in the topic gave me tremendous encouragement. Opportunities to present pieces of the project to the African Studies Centers at both Boston University and the University of Florida were especially helpful, and I thank Joanna Davidson and Abdoulaye Kane for organizing those talks. I was fortunate to direct a Glasscock Undergraduate Summer Scholars program while completing the book, and my exchanges with superb undergraduate students Jose’ Solis and Myranda Campanella helped me clarify my thinking on numerous aspects of development studies. The Glasscock Center at Texas A&M University provided not only financial support but opportunities to workshop early parts of this manuscript. Rothrock ’77 Fellowship, the Scowcroft Institute, and the College of Liberal Arts funded parts of my fieldwork as well as other research expenses. Thanks to Daniel Mains, Paolo Gaibazzi, Abdoulaye Sounaye, and Julian Tedasse at the Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) in Berlin for including me in their workshop that fall, and to Isabel Pumar, Bekki Smith, Jose Maldonado, Laliv Melamed, Yossi Capua, the staff of K.I.D.S., and the magical Sophie Nowak, all of whom were crucial to the success and productivity of that fellowship year.Īt Texas A&M University, Robert Shandley, Carmela Garritano, Stefanie Harris, Portia Owusu, and Maddalena Cerrato provided feedback, resources, and encouragement, and Jocelyn Frelier, Allegra Midgette, Chaitanya Lakkimsetti, and Vanita Reddy created enriching and generative programming. I was hosted by the warm and welcoming Helma Lutz and the Faculty of Social Sciences at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and enjoyed the intellectual fellowship of Saara Pellander and Greta Wagner. This project was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, through a postdoctoral research fellowship in 2017–2018. I will not name the former, as many of them feature in the accounts in this book, but among the latter I offer sincere appreciation to the Niang family, the Dieme family, Ramatoulaye Ndao, Victoria Fletcher, Karen Cobos Latham, Megan Willis, Ricci Shryock, Seynabou Bebe Seck, and the late great Gary Engelberg. In Senegal, I depended on the kindness of strangers who housed me, as well as the hospitality and deep networks of many friends and loved ones. They did not owe me their time nor their indulgence as I pestered them with questions about their private lives and their work, and I don’t take their generosity for granted. I want to thank all the aid workers and domestic workers who spoke to me for this project. INTRODUCTION: AID WORK AND THE EXTRACTION OF CARE
