Is Not Always Beautiful
by Max Liniger-Goumaz, John Wood (Translator)
Book Description Equatorial Guinea is one of the horror stories
of the post-colonial era in the developing world. Consisting of the continental
territory of Rio Muni and the island of Fernando Po, it was a small but
relatively prosperous Spanish colony until 1968. The successor regime of
the Nguema clan is a bloody dictatorship, which has destroyed the economy
and driven one-third of the population into exile. Today the country is
among the world's poorest, and has dropped out of the international system.
In recent years France has replaced Spain as the regime's chief economic
backer, with no amelioration of its appalling human rights record. This
is the first comprehensive monograph in English on Equatorial Guinea, and
the Swiss author, Max Liniger-Goumaz, is the acknowledged international
authority on the subject. Contents: Physical and Human Geography; The Colonial
Period; Independence Miscarried; Demographic and Cultural Aspects of the
Nguema Era; The Economy Under the Nguema Dictatorships; Present and Future;
Conclusions; Postscript; Bibliographical Note; Short Bibliography of Post-Independence
