註釋

The Gambia is an African country that, despite its small size, has a history of resilience that makes it worthy of greater notice. This historical dictionary looks at the country's history from precolonial times to the present, with entries on significant persons, places, events, and institutions, and discussions of various political, economic, and social aspects. This third edition provides a longer chronology and a more probing introduction. Until recently, Hughes was director of the Center of West African Studies at The University of Birmingham. Gailey teaches African studies at San Jose University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
