Both have large elements of truth. Poverty, coups, corruption, pandemic disease, and tribal, racial, and religious violence are all too common in Africa. So too is Americans' lack of concern about the people of a continent that suffers from these tragedies, as well as their government's support for African governments that treat their people as prey instead of citizens. The A to Z of United States-Africa Relations encompasses the relationship between the two from the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the George W. Bush administration, with particular emphasis on the Cold War. It focuses on political and economic aspects of the relationship and includes cultural relations. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on key persons, places, events, institutions, and organizations.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 221mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 617gAuthor: Robert Anthony Waters Jr.Genre: HistoryBook Series: A to Z Guide SeriesTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2010
