This is a tool for understanding the landmarks that comprise Djibouti's historical identity. Series: Historical Dictionaries of Africa. Num Pages: 200 pages, 1 map, bibliography. BIC Classification: 1HFGD; GTB; HBJH; HBLW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 223 x 144 x 17. Weight in Grams: 431.
Established as a country a little more than a century ago, born as an independent republic in June 1977, Djibouti is among the youngest as well as the smallest states in Africa. Yet its strategic location at the crossroads of the maritime trade routes between Africa, Asia and Europe turned this tiny spot on the world map into a vital player in twentieth century geopolitics.

Reviews for Historical Dictionary of Djibouti
...concise and accurate descriptions of interest to general reader and specialist alike....well covered are contemporary governmental and social institutions...[the authors] succeeded in building a slender bridge across what is still a gaping abyss separating francophone and anglophone scholarship about Djibouti.
