Schwere Kost, aber ein starkes Gesamtwerk. Afrikanischstämmige, in Afrika lebende Professoren verschiedener Länder behandeln unterschiedliche Themen, die anthropologisch mal auf den ganzen Kontinent, mal auf kleinere Einheiten bezogen sind. Das Inhaltsverzeichnis gibt einen guten Eindruck, worum es im Einzelnen geht.

A very cool and extensive introduction to African philosophy. It begins with some reflections on the project of African Philosophy as a whole, then gets into more specific articles. A long read, but great for anyone interested in the subject!
