  Liberia has a unique history, having been founded by former slaves. But its contemporary history has been bedevilled by an upheaval following a military coup d'etat in 1980. This book highlights the distinctiveness of Liberians in their negotiation of indigenous and modern practices and the changes wrought by Christianity and Western influences.
