An overview of the geography, history, government, economy, people, and culture of Liberia.
In nineteenth-century America, the belief that blacks and whites could not live in social harmony and political equality in the same country led to a movement to relocate African Americans to Liberia, a West African colony established by the United States government and the American Colonization Society in 1822. In The Price of Liberty, Claude Clegg accounts for 2,030 North Carolina blacks who left the state and took up residence in Liberia between 1825 and 1893. By examining both the American and African sides of this experience, Clegg produces a textured account of an important chapter in the historical evolution of the Atlantic world. For almost a century, Liberian emigration connected African Americans to the broader cultures, commerce, communication networks, and epidemiological patterns of the Afro-Atlantic region. But for many individuals, dreams of a Pan-African utopia in Liberia were tempered by complicated relationships with the Africans, whom they dispossessed of land. Liberia soon became a politically unstable mix of newcomers, indigenous peoples, and "recaptured" Africans from westbound slave ships. Ultimately, Clegg argues, in the process of forging the world's second black-ruled republic, the emigrants constructed a settler society marred by many of the same exclusionary, oppressive characteristics common to modern colonial regimes.
When they left America in the 1930s to serve as missionaries in the remote jungles of Liberia, West Africa, Harold and Ella Landrus could never have imagined the challenges they would face. They had no way of knowing the joys they would experience, the heartbreaks they would endure, nor the unbelievable adventures they would encounter. From deadly snakes, to marauding leopards, rampaging elephants, and terrifying airplane crashes, the Landrus family faced every challenge with faith, courage, and purpose. Written by a retired missionary who spent time with Harold and Ella while they were still ministering in Liberia, their story will challenge and inspire you. This is the account of a remarkable missionary family striving to make a difference in the lives of native tribespeople deep in the jungles of the African interior. They led lives of worth and meaning while living out adventures that go beyond anything any movie could ever offer. The difference is their story is true.
The nineteenth-century American Colonization Society (ACS) project of persuading all American free blacks to emigrate to the ACS colony of Liberia could never be accomplished. Few free blacks volunteered, and greater numbers would have overwhelmed the meager resources of the ACS. Given that reality, who supported African colonization and why? No...
A decades old mystery, one of the most feared men in the world and a secretive, self-serving "patriot" all converge on a sleepy, blue-collar town just north of Boston where three life-long friends become entangled in a web of intrigue, danger and dark sinister forces. What secrets lay hidden behind your neighbor's closed curtains? Who do they protect? In an ever-changing world, three friends; a humbled local newsman, his sometimes private investigator friend and the woman who keeps both men from self-destruction, embark on a journey which will ultimately lead them to the solution of one of the twentieth century's most notorious crimes, challenging all they thought they knew about the lengths to which men will go to hold power and the perverted view some men have of "patriotism".
