Description:	We are pleased to edit this volume on African families. As we begin the new millennium, there is no better time to publish a book that examines the historical processes that have shaped the essential elements of African families. In this volume, we examine trends in family research in Africa and reflect on the challenges that confront family life into the near future.

More importantly, Africa is made up of 54 countries that encompass different ecological zones, and diverse ethnic groups, cultures, and subcultures within which about 1,000 different languages are spoken. In spite of this great diversity and heterogeneity, African societies share some common social and economic experiences
