Summary:
"A one-stop resource for researching the lives, customs, and cultures of Africa's nations and peoples. Unparalleled in its coverage of contemporary customs in all of Africa, this three-volume encyclopedia provides an overview of contemporary customs and life in North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa through discussions of key concepts and topics that touch everyday life among the nations' peoples. While this encyclopedia places emphasis on the customs and cultural practices of each state, history, politics, and economics are also addressed. Entries average 14,000 to 15,000 words each, allowing contributors to expound extensively on each country. Readers will gain a good understanding of what life is like in Africa's 54 nations and territories, and be able to draw cross-cultural comparisons."--Provided by publisher.
