Highly recommended."--CHOICE (on the 1st edition). "Contains invaluable information...easy to read & easy to use...this publication should have its place on the shelf of school , public & academic libraries as well as of anyone interested in African studies."--AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW (on the 1st edition). A fully revised edition of the highly acclaimed popular desktop compendium, this quick reference guide is your roadmap & contact guide to the world of African studies--from key publications to active publishers, institutions, & other organizations. Updated with FAX & e-mail addresses throughout, the volume's 800 extensively annotated entries encompass: * essential reference works, * major libraries & documentation centers, * magazines & periodicals, * publishers, dealers, & distributors of African studies materials, * the principal regional & international organizations. * African studies associations. * foundations, donor agencies, & network organizations supporting African studies research &/or active in Africa, * details about awards & prizes, * listings of abbreviations & acronyms in African studies.
