Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
There are relatively few reference works on this country's history, so this sturdily bound book is essential for those special collections that focus on Africa or the Indian Ocean region. The item under review is also suitable for the reference collections of academic and large public libraries. (American Reference Books Annual )
...comprehensive, well-organized and nicely written... (International Journal Of African Historical Studies, vol. 39 no. 3 (2006) )
A useful contribution...Up-to-date wide-ranging studies. (African Research and Documentation )
This resource for students, travelers, and general readers provides quick access to basic information on the country of Madagascar from its earliest settlements to the present day.
