Historical Dictionary of Sierra Leone

About this book

Sierra Leone was founded as a refuge for emancipated slaves in the late 18th century and is an important case study for contemporary global issues. The region in which the country is located was important for the early migration and settlement of diverse cultures throughout western Africa. The dictionary offers information and analysis about the territory's ethnographic, economic, social, and political characteristics from early times to the present.

Historical Dictionary of Sierra Leone, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 400 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Sierra Leone.
