African Systems of Thought

This leading book series in African studies aims to explore the diversity of approaches to the analysis of systems of thought found in African societies and provides a forum for the presentation of research documenting such systems. The emphasis of the series is decidedly cross-cultural and multidisciplinary. Inquiries may be addressed to Dee Mortensen, Senior Sponsoring Editor, mortense@indiana.edu
