A drastically revised and greatly expanded edition of the "Historical Dictionary of Eritrea" will be out with Scarecrow Press in November 2010. I did the last scan of the galleys at BMC in August. For those who cannot get enough on this fascinating but obscure East African state—Africa's newest (and now most repressive) nation—this is a must-have. Fort the rest of you, at 688 pages it will make a one-of-a-kind door stop.
