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. In this context, the narrative highlights the distinctiveness of Liberians in their negotiation of traditional indigenous and modern practices, and the changes wrought by Christianity and Western influences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberia is a small country located on the western coast of Africa. The country was founded in 1847 by freed slaves from the United States, and it was the first African nation to gain its independence in the 20th century. The country is rich in natural resources such as timber, diamonds, and iron ore, but it has suffered from political instability and civil war. The official language of Liberia is English, which is a result of the country's ties to the United States. The religion is predominantly Christian, with around 85% of the population practicing Christianity. Liberia has a unique and diverse culture, with strong emphasis on traditional beliefs and practices. The country is known for its vibrant music scene, which includes genres such as Afro-pop and Gospel. Despite its troubled past, Liberia has made significant strides towards political stability and economic growth in recent years.
