Culture and Customs of Liberia
Author: Ayodeji Olukoju
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313038457
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Liberia has a strong connection to the United States in that it was founded by former slaves in 1822. Although Liberia had existed as an independent African nation and a symbol of hope to the African peoples under the rule of various colonial powers, its recent history has been bedeviled by a prolonged upheaval following a military coup d'etat in 1980. In this context, the narrative highlights the distinctiveness of Liberians in their negotiation of traditional indigenous and modern practices, and the changes wrought by Christianity and Western influences.
