"Few of Africa's many new nations are as completely unknown in most circles, including those which are generally familiar with Africa, as Equatorial Guinea." So says Linger-Goumaz (economic geography, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), the principal international specialist for the last quarter century on this country which became independent from Spain in 1968, who provides this first general volume in English about the former Spanish Guinea. Before proceeding to entries from "Abaga Edjang, F." (a distance education professor) to "Zaragoza Group"(cross-referenced to "Obiang Nguema," president-dictator since 1979), the author provides an introduction to the country, a note on its place names, and a chronology of major events from its disputed discovery in 500 BC to its political turmoil in the 1990s. Includes an extensive, categorized bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
