Part Two features detailed reviews of each of the fifty-three nations on the continent. Part Three brings together many important documents on significant international, constitutional, and economic developments. It also contains important statistical tables on government expenditures and intra-African and foreign trade. Praise for the series:
"Of all the many works of reference devoted to Africa, Africa Contemporary Record is the
only one that is worth buying in its latest edition year after year."
"It has achieved an irreplaceable status and is essential reading for professional Africanists
and African professionals."
"There exists a sizable number of reference works on Africa. But to practically no other applies
the so easily misused term 'indispensable'."
"No library, large or small, which is used by persons with interest in Africa, can afford to be
without the entire series on its shelves, and any scholar who can afford to have it within reach
will find time and trouble often saved."
