Historical Dictionary of Madagascar

Informationen zum Autor By Philip M. Allen and Maureen Covell Klappentext Madagascar, widely known as the 'Great Island, ' is just off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. This revised and expanded edition fills us in on the changes that have occurred over the past decade while still covering the long and intricate history of the country. It starts with the earliest settlers, continues through the period of French colonial rule, and then describes more intensively the period of independence, with all its aspirations, failures, and renewed hopes. This is done in a broad introduction, an extensive chronology, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, and events; ethnic groups and religions; and economic, social, and cultural aspects. Also included is a bibliography offering further reading Rev. ed. of: Historical dictionary of Madagascar / Maureen Covell. 1995.
