- Summary:
- "Mali is the seventh largest country in Africa, sharing 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, a new democratic constitution was adopted in 1992, and today Mali is one of the most politically and socially stable countries in Africa. While the economy still has a long way to go - it is considered to be among the 10 poorest countries in the world - Mali continues to make progress. This fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Mali, through its chronology, bibliography, introductory essay, and more than 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, places, events, institutions, and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, is an important historical and geopolitical reference."--BOOK JACKET.
