The most significant thing about Guinea is its potential. It is strategically located in West Africa, with a well-educated and hardworking population, and endowed with considerable natural resources, indeed, enough to make it reasonably affluent if properly utilized. But this potential has never really been tapped, due mainly to bad politics with military men following a charismatic politician, until finally democracy has been achieved. So, more than half-a-century after achieving independence, the question remains unanswered: which way will Guinea turn? This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of Guinea covers the full scope of Guinea’s history. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on key events, leaders, governmental, international, religious, and other private organizations, policies, political movements and parties, economic elements and many other areas that have shaped the country’s trajectory. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Guinea.

Guinea-Bissau is a small country in West Africa, and yet it managed to wrest its independence from Portugal back in 1973, at the cost of a long and bitter struggle against seemingly implacable odds. This was a time to be proud of, and there was also a moment about two decades ago, when it looked like a trendsetter for democracy. Since then things have gone seriously wrong, with a collapsing infrastructure, a dilapidated economy and a political stage prone to military coups d’etats. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Guinea-Bissau tells the long and sometimes unpleasant story. However, like all the country historical dictionaries, it tells it several times and in several ways. First, the chronology traces the history of what became Guinea-Bissau, and this over a period of centuries and not just decades. Then the introduction recounts that history again, providing more insight and understanding, and conveys a good idea of how things are going now. The details follow in the dictionary section with entries on important persons, places, institutions, and events among other things. And the bibliography points to further reading.

"Few of Africa's many new nations are as completely unknown in most circles, including those which are generally familiar with Africa, as Equatorial Guinea." So says Linger-Goumaz (economic geography, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), the principal international specialist for the last quarter century on this country which became independent from Spain in 1968, who provides this first general volume in English about the former Spanish Guinea. Before proceeding to entries from "Abaga Edjang, F." (a distance education professor) to "Zaragoza Group"(cross-referenced to "Obiang Nguema," president-dictator since 1979), the author provides an introduction to the country, a note on its place names, and a chronology of major events from its disputed discovery in 500 BC to its political turmoil in the 1990s. Includes an extensive, categorized bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
