Publisher Description:

Routledge is proud to be re-issuing this landmark series in association with the International African Institute. The series, originally published between 1950 and 1977, collected information on the peoples of Africa, using all available sources: archives, memoirs and reports as well as ethnographic research which, in 1945, had only just begun.

Each volume in the Ethnographic Survey of Africa contains sections as follows:

  • 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, in print or ebook formats 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, which will be available to view on https: //www.routledge.com/ or available as pdfs from the publishers.
