"...the well-researched and readable content along with the
attractive layout and quality binding will entice scholars to
purchase their own sets. Highly recommended for academic libraries
supporting African, African American, or philosophy
studies."--Library Journal, Starred Review
"It provides insights into the thinking, writings, and
accomplishments of a wide compass of people, as well as terms,
concepts, cultural phenomena, movements, and events that are too
little known in the West...this outstanding resource brings
together a broadened, comprehensive understanding of a major part
of the globe for large public and academic libraries."--Booklist,
Starred Review
"The encyclopedia makes, I believe, an important contribution to
international scholarship in
identifying the width and depth of African concepts and ideas in
this field...Oxford
University Press really have a winner here."--Reference Reviews
