Recensioner i media

"Anyone interested in the ongoing plight of the conflict in Western Sahara, the legacy of colonialism, nationalistic aspirations, and the refugee experience should read this book...This book is an excellent addition to studies of the Western Sahara struggle. Most others have focused on political aspects... Highly recommended." William P. Kladky, College of Notre Dame
