Calumny Refuted by Facts From Liberia

Calumny Refuted by Facts From Liberia by Wilson Armistead is a compelling examination of the socio-political landscape of Liberia addressing the misconceptions and criticisms surrounding the country''s establishment and its early years. Armistead through meticulous research and firsthand accounts seeks to counter the negative narratives that have emerged about Liberia particularly those that question the integrity and intentions of its founders. The book serves as both a defense of the Liberian experiment and a call for a more nuanced understanding of its historical context. *** In this work Armistead not only presents facts but also engages with the broader themes of colonialism race and identity. He emphasizes the resilience of the Liberian people and their struggle for self-determination amidst external pressures and internal challenges. By providing a platform for voices often marginalized in historical discourse Armistead''s book invites readers to reconsider the legacy of Liberia and the complexities of its journey. It is a significant contribution to the literature on African history and post-colonial studies.
