As centrepiece of MINDS' African Heritage Programme, the main purpose of the African Heritage Research Study (AHRS) on which this book is based was to develop a better understanding of what defines Africans by researching various aspects of Africa's heritage and determining its relevance for the African development agenda. As the result of a collective effort, the report of the study was a synthesis of contributions of a research team of eight African scholars. The report and the current book project both reflect the insights gained during that collective research effort that was conducted under the leadership of the research team coordinator who has also been appointed as editor of this book project.
