Abstract
This article is yet another contribution to the nagging issue of the treatment of
Africa in the major classification schemes, especially the Library of Congress.
The author recognizes that it is not enough to complain and criticize without offering
ideas on the solution to the problem. Hence the article is mainly a structure of
classification of African traditional religion which though tailored on the LC pattern, can
fit into any scheme-international or in-house.
Its breakdown gives extensive details on the subject as well as accommodates all the
groups and nationalities of Africa based roughly on the national geographical
boundaries. It is made sufficiently flexible to include every known and unknown ethnic
groups in Africa, Its tables also facilitate expansion where necessary.
Because the author has in mind the LC the suggested sub-class in schedule "B" which
comes under the assigned range for Religions in the Scheme.
