The First Liberian Civil War: The Crises of Underdevelopment

This book challenges the dominant view that the first Liberian civil war was caused by ethno-cultural antagonisms between and among the country’s various ethnic groups. Alternatively, the book argues that the war was the consequence of the multifaceted crises of underdevelopment – cultural, economic, political, and social – generated by the neo-colonial Liberian State. Society and Politics in Africa is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary series dedicated to producing new and innovative approaches to the study, analysis and appreciation of contemporary Africa. While the focus is mainly on the social sciences, the series welcomes manuscripts in all other disciplines which treat context as a significant aspect of discourse.
