- Summary:
- This investigation explains how culture functions within several of the contexts of space. In essence, it claims that cultural change involves the retaining of some cultural practices along with their modification, revision, and re-invention of events to accommodate the present. The past is redefined, restructured, revised, modified, and even re-invented in order to make it compatible with the interpretation of events within the cultural spaces of the present. This book contains five black and white photographs and nine color photographs.
