Description

This book is a study of the deportation of African-Americans to Liberia and the oppression that this deportation caused. It describes the tensions that developed between indigenous people and settlers. Dolo details the events leading to the civil war. He analyzes how Samuel Does 1980 coup foreshadowed the civil war as it embittered feelings of hate and prejudice. Dolo goes on to probe the civil war itself, describing the fierce opposition between Does forces and Charles G. Taylors National Patriotic Front. Dolo argues that because of this civil war, the Liberian nation was kept at a standstill. In his attempt to point out the causes of the war, Dolo hopes to lead Liberia and its crises toward the road of recovery.
