-
- Physical Environment
-
- Linguistic Data
-
- Demography
-
- History & Traditions of Origin
-
- Nomenclature
-
- Grouping
-
- Cultural Features: Religion, Witchcraft, Birth, Initiation, Burial
-
- Social & Political Organization: Kinship, Marriage, Inheritance, Slavery, Land Tenure, Warfare & Justice
-
- Economy & Trade
-
- Domestic Architecture
Each of the 50 volumes will be available to buy individually, and these are organized into regional sub-groups: East Central Africa, North-Eastern Africa, Southern Africa, West Central Africa, Western Africa, and Central Africa Belgian Congo.
The volumes are supplemented with maps, available to view on routledge.com or available as a pdf from the publishers.
