Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lone-Star of Liberia: Being the Outcome of Reflections on Our Own People I was quite a child when I read 'Uncle Tom's Cabin, ' by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and became enthusiastic for the abolition of slavery. Myheart was full of anxious thought on this subject. Later in life the tragedy of 'Toussaint L'Ouverture, ' by Lamartine, opened my mind to fresh considerations. After reading it I apprehended that the sons of Ham have precisely the same human, as well as civil, rights as have the sons of Shem and of Japheth. The passionate interest which my uncle, Victor Hugo, took in the fate of the generous but unfortunate John Brown further fixed myattention on this question, which has humanitarian as well as social aspects. And when recently reading books and articles relating to the subject of the emancipation of Africa's sons, I have added indignation to compassion. It is not right to reduce the ethics of that important question to the proportions of a mere work of mercy. It ought to be regarded as one of the gravest questions of our time - the final blow struck at an old tree, which mould has long invaded and rotted. This great question of the emancipation of the African race has more than one interesting aspect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia 1848 2010 written by D.Elwood Dunn and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 1927 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year since 1848 Liberian presidents have delivered a state of the nation address to the Liberian National Legislature reflecting the various facets of the political, social, economic and ethno-cultural situation of the country. Liberia, the first and – for more than a century – the only independent state in Sub-Saharan Africa, was founded in 1822 by an assortment of American non-governmental organizations as an asylum for black Americans. Similar to a comprehensive longitudinal study, this collection of speeches describes the social and economic development of an African country over a time span of more than a century and a half, from 1848 until 2010. As such, it represents the first major research contribution to the history of the political system of one of the first countries of the continent to attain independence. The speeches illuminate the area of conflict between the autochthonous and the black emigrant populations and also documents the relations with the U.S. as "founding nation" and constitutional role model, especially in the 19th century. The presidents' speeches are a rich source of information for gaining a better understanding of Liberia's past and the country's current challenges and future prospects. With The Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia 1848–2010, the speeches scattered in various Liberian and American archives and libraries have now for the first time been collected and reconstructed in one single edition. Biographies of the presidents and a scholarly introduction by the editor supplement the 146 speeches. The edition is a valuable source of information on the history and political situation of Africa during the past 163 years. The editor and publisher D. Elwood Dunn teaches political science at Sewanee: The University of the South. From 1974 until 1980 he served in the government of Liberia, becoming a member of the cabinet in 1979. He was editor of the Liberian Studies Journal from 1985 until 1995.
Download or read book Introduction to Liberia written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 95 pages. 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.

Download or read book Power and Press Freedom in Liberia 1830 1970 written by Carl Patrick Burrowes and published by Africa World Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the rich and often heroic story of the press in Liberia. Early newspapers were infused with a broad race consciousness which gave way to a specific nationalism at the turn of the last century. Initially, newspapers featured biting social commentary and enjoyed wide latitude to criticise officials, but restrictions were soon applied. Exploring the uses and abuses of power, the author demonstrates that the experience of Liberia provides a sobering corrective to the current euphoria regarding the effects of globalisation.

Download or read book Charles Taylor and Liberia written by Colin M. Waugh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Campaigner, insurgent, fugitive, rebel commander, commodity kingpin, elected president, exile and finally prisoner, Charles Taylor sought to lead his country to change but instead ignited a conflict which destroyed Liberia in over a decade of violence, greed and personal ambition. Taylor's takeover threw much of the neigbouring region into turmoil, until he was finally brought to face justice in The Hague for his role in Sierra Leone's civil war. In this remarkable and eye-opening book, Colin Waugh draws on a variety of sources, testimonies and original interviews - including with Taylor himself - to recount the story of what really happened during these turbulent years. In doing so, he examines both the life of Charles Taylor, as well as the often self-interested efforts of the international community to first save Liberia from disaster, then, having failed to do so, to bring to justice the man it deems most to blame for its disintegration.
Download or read book Liberia s Deadest Ends written by Martina Nicolls and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberia's Deadest Ends is a novel based on fact. It is about trust and truth: what or whom to trust, and when. Truth in Liberia during the civil war had become distorted, embellished, abandoned, and abused out of bravado, fear, shame, or self-protection. No one seemed to know the difference between truth and rumor anymore. The novel is set in Liberia from 2004 to 2012, after the declaration of peace and the end of two protracted and bloody civil wars: December 1989-1997 and 1999-2003. The country is recovering economically and mentally through government stabilization and services; recording Truth and Reconciliation statements of human rights violations; and the criminal trial of former president, Charles Taylor. Jorja Himmermann, an international aid worker, monitors the resurgence of education programs, peace building, community development, child labor, and the protection of former child soldiers. As the country's past truths are revealed, Jorja seeks her own truths: of elusive pygmy hippos; the burns on her driver's body; the extradition of her British friend; and her relationship with an enigmatic Moroccan journalist. It reveals whom Jorja can really trust.
