Culture, Ecology, and Politics in Gabon's Rainforest (African Studies (Lewiston, N.Y.), V. 65.)

By Michael Reed and Roger Franklin Dorsinville

This edited work by Dr. Reed and Dr. Barnes is a strong collection of essays on Gabon from leading scholars of the region and is a collection that truly lives up to its professed goal of presenting interdisciplinary approaches. Contemporary politics, AIDS and Ebola, environmental policies, food production crises, and the history of pre-colonial Gabon are among the wide variety of subjects covered with clarity. The work is also an indispensable guide for those who wish to learn more about Gabon, a country that has attracted relatively little interest in Anglophone circles.
