Our conceptual framework holds, first, that culture is a form of self-knowledge and knowledge about self in the world as transmitted from one person to another. Second, that African people continuously create their own cultural history. Third, that African descended people living outside of Africa are also contributors to and participate in the creation of African cultural history. This encyclopedia's entries deal with both traditions traceable to an African origin and ongoing practices and processes through which African culture continues to be created and formed.
