Statement of Collaboration
The Bibliography was developed by the ReConnect/ReCollect team members whose names appear below this statement. We stress, however, that all of the work reflected on this website—indeed all of the ReConnect/ReCollect’s efforts over the last two and a half years—is the product of close collaboration between the full team. We trusted each other to take the lead on specific elements of the project, but we also knew that repairing harm was best served through group deliberation, constructive critique, regular revisions, and the invaluable intellectual and personal perspectives of each team member.
Robert Diaz contributed to the Bibliography. Robert Diaz is a doctoral candidate whose research focuses on the confluence of U.S. imperialism in the Pacific World, scientific expertise, and lived imperialism of youths in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries…
