Preface
xii
Does this not also hold, analogously or homologously, for anthro-
pology itself? Crossing boundaries between faith and science, dream
and reality, reason and madness is fine, but, for the time being at least,
I expect society will let us earn a living as explorers rather than crossers
of boundaries. Of course, it is an achievement, demonstrated here, that
we no longer have to act as guardians and defenders of boundaries.
I wish this volume the success it deserves. Novices and seasoned
practitioners both will learn much just from reading the introduction.
But I am sure they will not be able to stop there; I wasn’t.
