The sub-title tells all for this extremely useful work. Included are citations to 884 honors papers, master's theses, and doctoral dissertations emanating from Benin (89 titles), Burkina Faso (119 titles), Congo (50 titles), Côte d'Ivoire (81 titles), Guinée (64 titles), Mali (207 titles), and Sénégal (274 titles), produced from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s. (Gabon is covered in similar fashion by Christopher Gray, History in Africa 21 (1994), 413–33, who lists 87 items for that country.) The entries are arranged by author within each country and each includes all the relevant bibliographical details as well as a set of key words. Only the proper names in the latter, however, are included in the work's two indexes (which might better have been combined, especially since some items – e.g. Nzema – are wrongly placed).
