Couverture
Scarecrow Press, 1994 - 560 pages
A comprehensive history of Western Sahara--an arid land bordering Morocco in the north, Algeria in the northeast, Mauritania in the east and the south, and the Atlantic coastline in the west--bitterly contested since 1975 by Morocco and the guerrillas of the Polisario Front. This edition of the Dictionary updates and supplements the first edition of 1982. Some 700 alphabetical entries range from major personalities, political movements, wars, and treaties to places, ethnic groups, and economic resources, with extensive entries on the OAU and the UN. Includes an introduction, map, detailed chronology, chart of tribal and ethnic groups, and heavily augmented bibliography. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
