Summary
Portugal remains one of the least known of West European states. The dictionary fills the knowledge gap with hundreds of entries and the most extensive multilingual bibliography of any English-language book in print on Portugal. Among topics covered are biographies, institutions, customs, trends, socio-economic conditions, emigration, tourist and historic sites and buildings, and Portugal's 500-year old colonial empire--the first established, the last to be decolonized.
