The Novels of Wilton Sankawulo by Robert Brown Pdf

In the first chapter of this monograph, Dr. Robert H. Brown tries to lay the groundwork by discussing some of the problems of writing in Liberia and prospects for Liberian writers. Then he lists in chronological order some of the works published by Liberian writers as evidential proof that there is a paucity of creative fiction in Liberia. In three subsequent chapters, he undertakes a critical study of Wilton Sankawulos The Rain and the Night, Sundown at Dawn: A Liberian Odyssey, and Birds Are Singing. The chapters situate Wilton Sankawulos creative fiction in its proper context, revealing the currents of indigenous Liberian thought that run through it and tracing the connections that link the novels to a new development in his thinking. Indeed, however dissimilar in titles, The Rain and the Night, Sundown at Dawn: A Liberian Odyssey, and Birds Are Singing, to some extent, share tone, setting, and ambience that characterize the current moment of Liberias history as a turning point. Despite their minor grammatical infelicities and stylistic ineptitude, the three novels are set to become classics in the canon of African literature.

Birds Are Singing by Wilton Sankawulo Pdf

Can a country man make it in Liberia? This is the question Korli wrestles with during his long, eventful journey from village life to the capital city, where kwii men seem to have all the power. Will he be able to escape the webs of tribal and "civilized" societies that both deny him freedom to live up to his ambitions? Set in the mid-1960s, Birds Are Singing gives us a glimpse into rituals of secret societies and traditions from rural Liberia, and into the nature of unscrupulous folk that rule in the city. Korli's (mis)adventures in both arenas reveal the social, cultural, and political factors that have long inhibited development and unity. Through all the temptations, will he stay true to himself and to his wife, Leanya? Will he ever be accepted for his talents and respected for his vision? Can a man like Korli make it in Liberia?

Redemption Road by Elma Shaw Pdf

Set in Monrovia during the administration of Liberia's former president, Charles Taylor, this riveting debut is a story of recovery, atonement, and the continuing quest for peace and justice in a nation plagued by conflict and inequalities since its founding by freed American slaves. Life in post-war Liberia is not easy, and it is especially challenging for Bendu Lewis, a young woman who counsels traumatized survivors of Liberia's civil war while struggling with memories of her own war-time experiences. When the warlord who once held her in captivity suddenly shows up in town, she decides that for her own healing, and for the voiceless victims of the war, she must bring him to justice for his past atrocities. In her pursuit of Commander Cobra, Bendu finds much more than she bargained for, including the courage to finally confront and make amends for her own painful war-time secret.

All the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation.

Civil War and State Formation by Felix Gerdes Pdf

Liberia was the scene of two devastating civil wars since late 1989 and became widely considered a failed state. By contrast, the country is frequently described as a success story since the international professional Ellen Johnson Sirleaf assumed the presidency following democratic elections in 2005. The book investigates the political economy of civil war and democratic peace and puts the developments into historical perspective. The author argues that the civil wars did not represent the breakdown of the state but exhibited dynamics characteristic of state formation. His analysis of continuity and change in Liberia's political evolution details both political progress and persistent structural deficits of the polity. Book jacket.
