Deals initially with the phenomenon of culture in a broad sense and then moves to
different ways of studying culture. Highlights major theoretical issues via a series of
short case studies illustrating the difficulty of studying culture, intercultural contact and
identity (in all their complexity) in an academic manner. Presents several existing
theoretical models to show the theoretical, methodological and practical issues involved
in this typically interdisciplinary field and how the issues have been dealt with so far.
