In this personage tinted account, the author has painted a picture of Liberia by identifying the origins and causes of many of its political problems. Liberia is Africa's first independent republic, founded in 1847 by freed slaves from the United States of America. The author lectured a the University of Liberia where his students included future ministers. One later emerged as a feared warlord, while one of his colleages even became the country's president. A bloody coup in 1980 was the prologue to 14 years of civil war. After the forced departure of warlord-president Charles Taylor, his rival Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected. She was the first democratically chosen female president not only of Liberia, but of Africa. The author is an economist and worked and lived in West Africa for 16 years. |
