Academic and reference books publisher Oxford University Press (OUP) has released the online edition of the Encyclopedia of Africa (www.oxford-africaencyclopedia.com) in partnership with Semantico Ltd., a provider of services and technology for online publishing.
The Encyclopedia of Africa is claimed to present an up-to-date and thorough reference on the history, politics and culture of Africa. It features 1,300 entries, 200 illustrations and demographic sidebars to further guide and inform research.
