Enculturation is a fundamental concept in sociology and anthropology, referring to the process through which individuals learn and adopt the values, beliefs, norms, customs, and behaviors of their culture. This process is crucial for the continuity and survival of any society, as it ensures that cultural knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.

Not specifically. There is no dictionary which is going to cover everything. The Oxford dictionary of sociology is fine for general sociology. If you have access then the encyclopaedia of sociology by George Ritzer is good but a bit dated.
