'...So we are unavoidably involved with the politics of transformation when cultures choose this worldview or that, this historiography or another. We have little choice except to heed the principles of transformation and metamorphosis, lest the past remain only the past, locked into its own having-happened-ness, and we in turn remain un-self-transformed, splendidly qualified to live last year, but not today.' --Introduction
