Download or read book Sweet Liberia written by Susan D. Peters and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, Susan (aka Ahnydah Rahm) Peters fled Liberia with her children, leaving behind a war characterized as, "The bloodiest Civil War since the Biafran War in 1967," but returning with the faith that would help her rebuild her life and uplift her heart and soul! Sweet Liberia, Lessons from the Coal Pot is a delightful, but painfully honest, memoir that chronicles the thick slice of humanity sandwiched between Liberia's April 12, 1980 coup and the Civil War, in 1989. Like many others who embraced Black Pride, Afros, African clothing and names in the 70's, Susan and thousands more, took it one-step further and immigrated to Mother Africa. This story is set against the author's personal growth, her cultural struggles and triumphs; and is an informative, personally revealing, often-comical account of her family's eleven-year journey immersed in the rich culture of Liberia, West Africa. Now, as Liberia stands on the threshold of rising under the leadership of Africa's first elected female president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Susan writes about the wisdom, beauty, and resiliency she witnessed during her sojourn.
Download or read book Swing Low Sweet Chariot written by Antonio McDaniel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-04-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early nineteenth century, thousands of emancipated and freeborn blacks from the United States returned to Africa to colonize the area now known as Liberia. In this, the first systematic study of the demographic impact of this move on the migrants, Antonio McDaniel finds that the health of migrant populations depends on the adaptability of the individuals in the group, not on their race. McDaniel compares the mortality rates of the emigrants to those of other migrants to tropical areas. He finds that, contrary to popular belief, black immigrants during this period died at unprecedented rates. Moreover, he shows that though the emigrant's mortality levels were exceptionally high, their mortality patterns were consistent with those of other populations. McDaniel concludes that the greater the variance between the environment left and the environment entered, the higher the probability of contracting a new disease, and, in some cases, of death from these diseases. Additionally, a migrant's health can be affected by dietary changes, differences in local pathogens, inappropriate immunities, and increased risk of accidents due to unfamiliar surroundings.

Book excerpt: Liberia was a colony for freed and freeborn African Americans for twenty-five years before becoming the first republic on the African continent in 1847. Today, Liberia is recovering from over twenty years of violence, which include seven years of civil war (1989-1996).

This book will take you on a mouth-watering journey through the diverse and delicious world of Liberian cuisine, showcasing its top traditional dishes, each packed with flavour and history. A Brief History of Liberian Cuisine Liberian cuisine reflects the nation's diverse cultural history, influenced by the indigenous tribes, freed American slaves, and European settlers that have shaped the country over the years. The result is a unique fusion of flavours and techniques that tell the story of Liberia's rich past. The foundation of Liberian cuisine lies in the traditional ingredients and cooking techniques of the region's 16 ethnic groups. Each group has contributed its own distinct flavours and recipes, creating a harmonious blend of tastes that continue to evolve with time. Exploring Traditional Ingredients and Cooking Techniques The heart of Liberian cuisine lies in its use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Staples such as rice, cassava, plantains, and yams form the base of most meals, while an array of vegetables, legumes, and proteins provide nourishment and flavour. Palm oil, a quintessential West African ingredient, lends its rich, earthy taste to many Liberian dishes. Liberian cooking techniques are rooted in age-old traditions, passed down from generation to generation. Open-fire cooking, stewing, and frying are common methods used to prepare meals, with an emphasis on simplicity and preserving the natural flavours of the ingredients.
