Book excerpt: Always at War With Life is a life story of a young boy that grew up between villages in Liberia, but found himself in the United States in early 1980s. The book, conversely, depicts the life of an ordinary village boy that grew up in Liberia from its inception to present. It briefly traces the Kwa people from the Niger basin, and teaches a fraction of the We (Krahn-Guéré) cultural games that are on the verge of extinction. The book points to the root causes of the divide between the natives and the freed slaves (settlers). It also reveals how Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf used her ancestral lineage with Charles Taylor and Blaise Compaoré to persuade Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and Félix Houphouet- Boigny of the Ivory Coast to destroy Liberia during President Doe's administration. The author explains his role as peace builder who helped to return genuine and sustainable peace to his country of birth. He explains why and how he spent weeks in prison in Liberia. The book concludes with author's long battle with the hepatitis-B, and how he was saved by the bell with liver transplant at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Download or read book Little Liberia written by Jonny Steinberg and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In his latest book, Little Liberia: An African Odyssey in New York, Steinberg takes us to Park Hill Avenue on Staten Island, where a community of Liberians have made their home. Through interviews and shadowing of two community leaders, Steinberg strives to understand the peculiarities of this community; while it appears at times as if a piece of Liberia has been sliced off and dropped in New York, the Park Hill community is ravaged by conflict between different interest groups. To understand what is going on in 2008 New York, Steinberg travels back - back to Liberia and back to the country's tragic recent history of civil war, military coups and mass exterminations. The story of Liberia is a gruesome and miserable one but Steinberg's empathy for his subjects never allows the narrative to descend into voyeurism. The combination of hard nosed investigative journalism, a gift for storytelling and an obvious empathy for the characters that he shadows makes Steinberg an author who demands to be read, whatever the subject matter. A brilliant and important book which will delight Steinberg's thousands of followers and doubtless earn him many more"--Book Lounge.
