The studies brought together in this book are integral parts of a project developed over the past ten years. Many of them were published individually in various forms and forums, but the framework is the product of the accumulated work, and the pieces have been adapted to the comprehensive design. Since the overall “Contested Legacies” project has been a collaborative one, involving four workshops and a large conference, as documented in a number of collaborative publications, I am especially indebted to the many colleagues who made contributions to these events. None of the chapters of the present volume appear in these books. They do, however, variously draw on the following earlier publications: “Antifascism as Ideology: Review and Introduction,” in Habitus, Identität und die exilierten Dispositionen, ed. Anna Wessely, Karoly Kokai and Zoltan Peter, 139–159 (Budapest: Nemzeti Tankönyvkiado, 2008); “Erste Briefe. Zwischen Exil und Rückkehr,” Zeitschrift fürIdeengeschichte (May 2008): 79–107; “Le prime letteri dei refugees; una liquidazione dell'esperienza dell'esilio?” Memoria e Ricerca. Rivista di storia contemporanea 31 (Maggio/agosto 2009): 103–120; “Una ‘primera carta’ de Siegfried Kracauer,” in Siegfried Kracauer: un pensador más allá de las fronteras, ed. Carlos Eduardo J. Machado and Miguel Vedda, 171–178 (Buenos Aires: Gorla, 2010); “Negotiations: Learning from Three Frankfurt Schools,” in Fruits of Exile, ed. Richard Bodek and Simon Lewis (Charleston: University of South Carolina Press, 2009), and in German: “Ein unvollendetes Lehrstück: Meine Verhandlungen mit drei Frankfurter Schulen,” in Soziologie in Frankfurt. Eine Zwischenbilanz, ed. Felicia Herrschaft and Klaus Lichtblau, 257–281 (Berlin: VS Verlag, 2010);
