Book Description

African Historical Dictionaries December 1975
Despite advances in modern communication and the proliferation of information, there remain areas of the world about which little is known. One such place is Somalia. The informed public is aware of a political meltdown and consequent chaos there, but few comprehend the causes of this tragic crisis. This new edition covers Somalia's origin, history, culture, and language, as well as current economic and political issues.

The alphabetical arrangement of this Dictionary, with a complete chronology, list of acronyms, and in-depth bibliography provide useful information about the country in a convenient format.

A vital addition to reference collections supporting undergraduate and graduate programs on Africa and the Middle East, international relations, and economics- a useful fact-filled compendium for government and public libraries, NGO's, and other special libraries

Editorial Reviews

Review

Entries are very lengthy, detailed, and readable. Appendixes list all members of government by post from 1956 to 1991, named political factions, and the membership of the 1969 Supreme Revolutionary Council. Perhaps the most valuable adjunct to the dictionary is the lengthy multilingual bibliography, covering general works, politics, history, society, science, and economy and culture. Libraries holding the earlier edition will want to acquire this solid contribution to African studies resources. (Arba ) --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
