Thanks Platonides! I had tried similar queries, but there must some subtle difference between what I tried and your correct answer.

I would guess that this is a newbie question. When I query for a category with something like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?cmtitle=Category:Culture&action=query&... =categorymembers&cmlimit=500
is there a way for me to also get the categories that this category belongs to without doing a second query?
Thanks,

You're welcome.
