- This culture summary is based on the article, "African Americans" by Molefi Kete Asante, in the Encyclopedia of World Culture, Vol. 1, North America, 1991. Timothy O’Leary and David Levinson, eds. MacMillan Reference, USA. Teferi Abate Adem wrote the synopsis and indexing notes in February 2009. The demography section was updated with information from United States census 2000 in June, 2010. Professors John L. Jackson, Jr. and Deborah A. Thomas (both at the University of Pennsylvania) provided advice and suggestions for new sources. HRAF is very grateful to both.
