Description

Originally published in 1964, this seminal work examines the distinctive social stratification system in Monrovia, Liberia's capital city. Liberia presents a unique sociological case study, established in 1847 without colonial rule and governed by a minority of American immigrants and their descendants through the early twentieth century. The indigenous population comprises members of approximately 20 tribes who developed a caste-like social system in relation to the American settler elite. This ethnographic analysis explores how Liberia's unusual history created a social class structure fundamentally different from colonial African societies. Part of the African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series, this volume from Routledge offers valuable insights into the intersection of tribal identity and class formation in West African urban contexts.

Key Features
