On more than one occasion, upon hearing that I was editing a collection of essays, colleagues remarked that the task called for the arts of persuasion and coercion.Although both were used, it was largely cheerful cooperation that marked the compilation of this volume.This, together with ongoing friendly communication with contributors, helped make the production of this book a most gratifying experience.Despite its eclectic nature, there is nevertheless a distinct bias towards historical analysis in this anthology.This is a reflection of my own background and the contacts I have built up over the years among postgraduate students working on aspects of coloured identity in southern Africa.All of the contributors are young researchers and academics who have either recently completed doctoral dissertations or are still busy with PhD theses.All except one, whom I met at a conference, contacted me at some point during the last decade to discuss aspects of their research.This volume is thus the product of a personal network that grew organically and in the course of time presented the opportunity of compiling an edited volume.Through it I pay tribute to a group of bright young scholars whose ideas have helped refine my own thinking and whose innovative work is transforming our understanding of the nature and history of coloured identity.For
