Download or read book Djogbachiachuwa the Liberian Anthology written by Syrulwa Somah and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Djogbachiachuwa is an attempt by the Liberian Literature Project 2012 set forth by the Liberian History, Education & Development, Inc. (LIHEDE) to close this literary gap. It is also an attempt to have the rest of the world to read more of Liberian literature through the eyes of Liberians other than themselves. It is believed that people who do not know their own history, culture or language have nothing of worth and beauty to pass on to successive generations, and is thus doomed and condemned to perpetual warfare and poverty. The Liberian Literature Anthology Project 2012 is an endeavor to depart from this self-defeating historical trend to produce an Anthology of Liberian literature that draws on the tradition of each ethnic subgroup in Liberia.

Download or read book Tiposah written by Siahyonkron Nyanseor and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TIPOSAH: Message from The Palava Hut . The themes in TIPOSAH range from patriotism, nationalism, social and political issues, abuse of power to religion, civil war, and life's experiences. They are not trivial themes! They are accusing, critical and implicating. Yet, the rage expressed in them is not about revenge. The voices of the characters are the expressions and thoughts of people who for so long thought of themselves as helpless. They work like hell like the proverbial expression: "Monkey work, baboon draw" that benefits only the rich and powerful in society. These abuses and hypocrisies are attributes of "man's inhumanity" that are found in the pages of TIPOSAH. Indeed, Nyanseor's poems cover the entire human spectrum. He is not afraid to confront the sickening evil that lurks within human nature and the events that unfold when the malevolence is unleashed. His poems on pure, unadulterated evil reflect his fearless stance on describing and deploring the evils in human nature. In fact, TIPOSAH offers an accurate, candid view of the events that unfold around us. The glossary is full of translations of Liberian words and phrases like, KETEHKPOH (short person), FOOT TO FOOT (follow closely), POOR BOY (ordinary guy), NYAMANYAMA (grouping of different things), CORFRADOMA (God damn it), etc., reminiscent of our past. There are also titles like: Patriots or Craky People; Liberia, the Beautiful; We Too, Were Created; An Open Letter to Africans; Thank You Mom; People Will Always Gossip; Love at First Sight; Conversation in Waterside English; Another Woman's Husband; Big Shot Followed My Woman; When Things Chakla; My Vai Shirt, etc. TIPOSAH analyzes the love for humanity and the unbridled purity of the one global village we share. The highlights are full of the complexity of the human spirit; and yet, there is celebration with love and affection that is found within all of us. Nyanseor's poems provide deep insight into the positive and negative aspects of our human nature. His knowledge and deep comprehension of human tendencies shines throughout his works. This book is a treasure worth having and reading, keeping and protecting.
Download or read book Courage of Their Conviction written by Jeremiah T. Kugmeh and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a descriptive picture of a community of people (Tartweh, Drapoh and Jeadepo) who lived in abject poverty, worship other gods and are socio-politically isolated from the rest of the country, Liberia. Lillian, an American Christian Missionary from Washington State had a vision to embark on a mission to reduce illiteracy, mortality and promote Christianity in the region. The gods of the region, led by their chief, who is called Qui and his chief lieutenant name Capu, are mad and vowed to destroy the work of God. Lillian is determined and armed with the power of God. Standing resolutely alongside her are the poorest of the poor children going against the spirits of darkness. Lillian Swanson has passed on to glory almost two decades ago but spiritually empowered inhabitants are on the offensive in the region, the so-called gods are on the run. The sympathizers are calling on the spirits of their ancestors for help. The battle goes on as government and the civil society stand aloof. It is a book that will keep you awake all night long.

Download or read book Culture and Customs of Liberia written by Ayodeji Olukoju and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberia has a strong connection to the United States in that it was founded by former slaves in 1822. Although Liberia had existed as an independent African nation and a symbol of hope to the African peoples under the rule of various colonial powers, its recent history has been bedeviled by a prolonged upheaval following a military coup d'etat in 1980.
