Now online: Africa Yearbook

Africa Yearbook, from Brill Academic Publishers, is now available online.  AY "covers major domestic political developments, foreign policy and socio-economic trends in sub-Sahara Africa.  The Yearbook contains articles on all sub-Saharan states and on each of the four sub-regions (West, Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa), focusing on major cross-border developments and sub-regional organizations.  It also contains one article on continental developments and one on European-African relations.  The text of the current print edition is available online, updated regularly to reflect recent events."

Try it here or visit the "Databases & Article Searching" section of the Yale Library website (Yale users only).  If you have comments or questions, send them to Suzanne Lorimer.
