Book Description:

This powerful book argues persistently that the historical settlement of liberated Americans of African descent had a destabilizing impact on the geography, politics, social and economic structure, environment, and culture of Liberia. The author also draws attention to the environmental consciousness of indigenous Liberians and delves into the historical roots of the principle health problems and industrial activities threatening Liberia's environment.
