But culture is an enigma now, a problematic concept for many scholars. It was once widely accepted that cultural systems were separated and bounded; today, we know that has never been the case. (8)

Issues of power and voice, of who speaks, and of who speaks for whom, call for collaborative approaches that ask us to write with rather than about others and to be aware of our selves in the world. (130)
