Is logic just a Western convention? Do other cultures have other logics? 

No and no. Logic is the inescapable rules of existence, and those rules do not depend on our conception or understanding of them.

They are presupposed by every thought and every proposition. I didn't invent the laws of logic, but I've discovered them, along with many other philosophers throughout history.
