Abstract:An introductory essay places Chad in its historical, political and geographical context, exposing the gap between the black African, animist or Christian South, and the Muslim, arabized North, and the difficulties of welding them into one nation. Next follows the dictionary, which presents a major compilation of facts on leading persons, places and events, gathering together much of the existing information. Finally the complete annotated and classified bibliography facilitates the finding of additional material on specific subjects.
