内容説明

The second edition of this classic reference organizes and explains the most important resources dealing with the study of Africa. It is intended for students, teachers, librarians, and serious researchers, and it covers works and surveys dealing with the entire African continent. The introductory sections cover African studies indexes, bibliographies, handbooks, guides and directories as well as electronic sources and Internet web sites. The continuing chapters deal with specific types of materials such as statistics, current events, biography, primary sources, and government publications. The main body of the work is an annotated overview of sources for disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, agriculture, and ecology. Chapters typically include research guides, directories, surveys of the literature, bibliographies, indexes and abstracts, key periodical titles, and relevant Library of Congress subject headings. Over half of the entries are either new or have been updated since the old edition, and there is expanded coverage on volumes dedicated to the study of North Africa, the growth of Islam in Africa, and a tremendous increase in the number of electronic sources listed.
