Abstract: | This article offers a fifteen-year-anniversary assessment of the evolution of scholarship within the field of Djiboutian studies by providing a bibliography of the significant works which have been published from 1977 through 1991. The works constitute scholarly books and journal articles on Djibouti as well as some government reports. They are divided alphabetically by author's name within a total of twenty-one subheadings (General works, Tourist guides, Geography and earth sciences, Travellers' accounts, Flora and fauna, History, Social conditions, health and welfare, Migration and refugees, Ethnicity and population, Politics and administration, Constitution and legal system, Religion, Foreign relations, International development cooperation, Economy, trade and transport, Energy, Agriculture and development, Periodicals and official publications, Literatue and folklore, Language, and Bibliographies). The majority of works cited are in English, but several French works have also been included. Despite an original intent to focus the bibliography on relatively 'easy-to-find' books and journal articles, several citations constitute 'hard-to-find' publications. Ref. |
