What is Acknowledgments about?

Many people Made iMportant and essential contributions over the course of this project. Primary financial support came from the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund. Sylvia Yee and Cheryl Rogers of the Haas Jr. Fund have been enthusiastic about the project from the beginning; their direct appreciation of the critical role played by organizations advocating for youth grounded this study. A grant from the Spencer Foundation enabled us to complete our field research and writing. Conceptualization of our research benefited enormously from previous scholarship on local youth advocacy efforts and urban politics, most particularly that of Xavier de Souza Briggs, Dennis Shirley, Clarence Stone, and Mark R. Warren. This project would not have been possible, of course, without the interest and generous cooperation of people involved with and knowledgeable about the conditions for youth in San Francisco and Oakland, CA (see Appendix). The many individuals involved in organizations advocating for Bay Area youth welcomed us into their organizations and their personal files and experiences. Their perspectives on and commitment to the well-being of urban youth form the core of this book. Deborah Alvar
