The book looks at major issues involving Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania. These countries, in most cases, have been treated as separate from sub-Saharan Africa.

The book consists of two parts. The first part includes five chapters written in English, the second part of the book comprises six chapters written in Arabic ER -
