1.The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African ChildhoodThe House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $8.67

Customer Review:
Cooper writes well and there is a strong connection to family members. Although I agree that the history is necessary for the reader to get a feel of the deep roots that both sides of the family had/has in Liberia, it did get to be a bit long in parts. All in all, like many memoirs that express the... more info

Customer Review:
In 1935, in the first flush of success of his first acclaimed novel, Greene took off to explore the concept of Africa, building on his notions of adventure from childhood reading. Identifying never-colonized Liberia as the most authentically uncivilized of African destinations, he set off, with his... more info

5.Mississippi in Africa: The Saga of the Slaves of Prospect Hill Plantation and Their Legacy in LiberiaMississippi in Africa: The Saga of the Slaves of Prospect Hill Plantation and Their Legacy in Liberia
from Gotham
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
This is a compelling story, but it's full of inference and excessively fluffy. From a historian's perspective Huffman does not have enough evidence to be legitimate. If you're looking for a real history of either Mississippi or West Africa (my two areas of expertise) look elsewhere.

6.The Graves Are Not Yet Full: Race, Tribe, and Power in the Heart of AfricaThe Graves Are Not Yet Full: Race, Tribe, and Power in the Heart of Africa
from Basic Books
Price: $1.25

Customer Review:
To the casual observer Africa looks to be the "heart of darkness' or the "dark continent" found in Joseph Conrad. From the bits of news and information gleaned from the Western press, it would appear that the entire continent is a cauldron of ethnic diversity simmering under the heat of individual... more info

I am so, so humbled by John and Bessie Gonleh and their family. This book is a MUST READ for EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN over the age of 13 (some parts dealing with civil war and associated violence may be especially hard for children to handle).

This a well written factual study of African civil wars. It clearly addresses the crisis without taking sides or introducing any ideological or other agendas.
