This guidebook belongs to the series « Les guides de l’état du monde », which are intended for travellers concerned about gaining a global understanding of the country they are about to discover - or of which they wish to gain a better understanding. They blend geographical, historical, social, political and cultural facets in order to cover each country's manifold reality. These guides highlight their meaningful aspects and the table of contents evolve from one title to another to reflect this. With their lively writing, unabashed partiality and freedom of spirit, these guidebooks avoid the pitfalls of « political correctness » and aseptic information.
