Arranged alphabetically, and thoroughly updated and expanded for this new edition, the entries range from medieval Europe to post colonial Africa, from the Addled Parliament of Stuart England to the Zemstov of imperial Russia. Also included are contemporary terms ranging from ethnic cleansing and the Christmas Revolution to the Whitewater Affair and New Labour . Terms relating to social, economic, gender and intellectual issues are also included, while geographical areas as diverse as Latin America, the Arab world and the Pacific are fully covered in the volume.Product Identifiers
