A propos de cet article

The proud Republic of Liberia was founded in the 19th century with the triumphant return of the freed slaves from America to Africa.The proud Republic of Liberia was founded in the 19th century with the triumphant return of the freed slaves from America to Africa. Once back home, however, these Americo-Liberians had to integrate with the resident tribes who did not want or welcome them. Against a background of French and British colonialists busily carving up Mother Africa, while local tribes were still unashamedly trading in slaves . . . the vulnerable newcomers felt trapped and out of place. Where men should have stood shoulder to shoulder, they turned on each other instead.Land of My Fathers plunges us into this world. But in the midst of turmoil, there is friendship. Edward Richard, a man born into slavery and a preacher by profession, is convinced that the future of Liberia lies in bringing peace amongst the tribes. His mission takes him to the far north, where he meets an extraordinary man, Halay. Edwards new and dearest friend is ready to sacrifice his own life to protect his country; for the Liberians believe that with Halays death, no war will ever threaten their land. A century later, this belief is crushed when war engulfs the land, bearing away with it the descendants of both Edward and Halay. The story of Halay is the untold story of Liberia. What he did would come to stand as symbol of man's ability to defy the odds, to face the inevitable head on. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
