Having ceased to be part of Spain's African empire without becoming a state of its own, Western Sahara has been fought over by Morocco, Mauritania and the indigenous people of northwestern Africa. The first edition of this dictionary, published in 1982, brought together for the first time information on the regional conflict and attempts at resolution, as well as background on Western Sahara's history, politics, economy, society and culture. This third edition has been entirely rewritten and updated. It includes a chronology, map, extensive bibliography, and a new introduction by Pazzanita, who has published many works on Western Sahara and Mauritania. (Reference & Research Book News)
