Historical Dictionary of Mali, Hardback Book

Historical Dictionary of Mali Hardback

Part of the Historical Dictionaries of Africa series

Hardback

Description

Mali is currently the seventh largest country in Africa.

It shares borders with Mauritania and Senegal in the west, Algeria in the north, Guinea and Ivory Coast in the south, and Burkina Faso and Niger in the east.

After decades of dictatorship, in 1992, a new democratic constitution was adopted and today Mali is one of the most politically and socially stable countries in Africa.

While Mali still has a long way to go with their economy—they are considered to be among the 10 poorest countries in the world—they continue to make progress and their increase in cereal and gold production are steps in the right direction. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Mali, through its chronology, bibliography, introductory essay, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, provides an important reference on this African country.
