Helen Nagy organized the session and sought to include scholars whose current work covers areas of Bonfante&#39;s research and who acknowledge her influence on their work. The five papers are by American scholars working in an international scholarly environment, reacting to work by American and foreign colleagues. This introduction provides the scholarly context within which Bonfante and the contributors to the colloquium have been working: the search for Etruscan identity.
