W Martin James: James, W: Historical Dictionary of Angola, Fester Einband

Klappentext

Angola was devastated by a civil war that lasted through much of the latter half of the 20th century and later became an international war involving the United States, Soviet Union / Russia, Cuba, South Africa, and numerous other African nations. Since the end of the civil war in 2002, Angola has become a constitutional republic with a growing economy.

Historical Dictionary of Angola, Fourth Edition updates the prior edition, with a focus on the period from 2002 through the present. The Dictionary has extensive coverage of Angola's economy, health, education, growth and development, and the arts, including literature, music, theater, and cinema. The entries on religion, women, foreign relations, new personalities, and politics have also been expanded. The bibliography also reflects this focus with special emphasis on internet sites that deal with Angola or include factual or statistical information.
