Download or read book Liberian Politics written by Hanes Walton and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberian Politics tells the fascinating story of Liberia's early nation-building efforts, its attempts to establish democracy, and the pivotal role played by African Americans in exporting the American democratic experiment to Liberia. The story of the rise of Africa's oldest democracy is told through the writings of J. Milton Turner, an African American diplomat who served in Liberia from 1871 to 1878. Turner's official diplomatic correspondence--superbly organized and edited by Walton, Rosser, and Stevenson--document Liberia's struggle to define its political institutions and processes. They chart Liberia's struggle to establish its relationship with the wider world and offer an intimate portrait of Turner's role as the agent of U.S. foreign policy in Liberia. A comparative study in the best tradition of Tocqueville and Myrdal, this pathbreaking work reveals the global dimensions of nineteenth-century African American politics and offers rich insight into the direction of early U.S. diplomacy in Africa.

Book Synopsis The Best to the Guest by : Polly Riddle
Download or read book The Best to the Guest written by Polly Riddle and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, with the assistance of her family and friends at St. Andrew's United Methodist Church and her senior living facility, Ann's Choice, author Polly Riddle took a memorable journey in response to a special call from God. The Best to the Guest is her entertaining and inspiring diary of that journey to Liberia. Her first mission trip to Liberia, West Africa, in 2010 was with Compassion Corps, so naturally she asked them to handle her travel and work arrangements for this trip as well. As her mission approached, she particularly looked forward to spending extended time with her dear Liberian friend, Marinda, a school principal. To insure that her trip was successful, Polly prepared a curriculum and gathered supplies to take with her to Liberia. Her call from God was to teach adults to read and enable them to do arithmetic on a second grade level. In addition, she taught the youngsters Sunday school songs, Bible stories, and phonemic awareness using games. Once in Liberia, she was always ready for an adventure, rarely saying no to an invitation, no matter what it was. Whether it was going to the market, exploring the many diverse churches, or visiting a bamboo field, Polly was intrigued by everything she saw and everyone she met in Liberia. Sharing the humor of everyday life, The Best to the Guest tells Polly's entertaining and inspiring three-month story in diary form.
Book Synopsis Travel With A Gavel by : Willie McCarney
Download or read book Travel With A Gavel written by Willie McCarney and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I was a most unlikely traveller. Growing up in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, I had no great ambitions to travel other than to visit friends and family within a two- or three-mile radius. From the age of 11, I had to take the bus each day to the nearest grammar school, 10 miles away in Omagh. Apart from that there was an annual, one-day, bus trip to Bundoran, a small seaside town in County Donegal. That was more than enough travelling for me. At the age of 19, I had never been to Belfast or Dublin, and didn’t feel I had missed anything. Sixty-two years later, when I sat down to write this travelogue, I realised that in the intervening years I had visited seventy-five countries and all five continents, many of the countries visited multiple times. How had I morphed from someone with little interest in travel into someone who was ready to fly off to anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat? Were the wanderlust seeds sown in my formative years or was I bitten by the travel bug after accepting an offer to represent Northern Ireland at an international conference? I begin by trying to answer that question before going on to recount my unique experiences and perceptions, gathered from over 30 years of travel, along with insights into different countries, places and peoples. I hope you will agree that the outcome presents as a rich and illuminating read.’
Download or read book Madame President written by Helene Cooper and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BEST BOOKS of 2017 SELECTION by * THE WASHINGTON POST * NEW YORK POST * The harrowing, but triumphant story of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, leader of the Liberian women’s movement, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the first democratically elected female president in African history. When Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won the 2005 Liberian presidential election, she demolished a barrier few thought possible, obliterating centuries of patriarchal rule to become the first female elected head of state in Africa’s history. Madame President is the inspiring, often heartbreaking story of Sirleaf’s evolution from an ordinary Liberian mother of four boys to international banking executive, from a victim of domestic violence to a political icon, from a post-war president to a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and bestselling author Helene Cooper deftly weaves Sirleaf’s personal story into the larger narrative of the coming of age of Liberian women. The highs and lows of Sirleaf’s life are filled with indelible images; from imprisonment in a jail cell for standing up to Liberia’s military government to addressing the United States Congress, from reeling under the onslaught of the Ebola pandemic to signing a deal with Hillary Clinton when she was still Secretary of State that enshrined American support for Liberia’s future. Sirleaf’s personality shines throughout this riveting biography. Ultimately, Madame President is the story of Liberia’s greatest daughter, and the universal lessons we can all learn from this “Oracle” of African women.
