When the content of one culture is left solely to another to express, without any consultation with that culture’s community, then the result is usually distorted, unintentionally or by design. This outcome is even more likely—and more threatening—if the two cultures are at odds: have and have-nots, majority and minority, victor and vanquished…In short, no culture can survive intact if its interpretation and transmission are controlled by people outside of the culture. --"An American Dialogue" |
