Produktbeschreibung
In Liberia, violence is a habit, a customary
disposition and cultural liability. Liberia s
violence posits cultural dishonesty : Liberians
habitual tendency to preach but fail to live as they
preach. Cultural dishonesty there is concisely
conceived and manifested in government, in
schools and the society at large. One of the
principal victims of Liberia s dishonesty is women
and girls. This was demonstrated during the civil
war when women and girls were mercilessly raped,
killed and suffered at the hands of violent men.
This book is an effort to establish academic records
on women and girls in Liberia. I interviewed four
Liberian women from the four predominant social
groups exiled to the United State who, in the eyes
of most Liberians, were instrumental in the civil
war. The women s experiences were not bread and
butter but butchering and bloodshed. While those
interested in Liberian and African studies would
find this book meaningful, principally, it is
written for those interested in social justice, for
women s rights,for Liberians, for Africans and as a
text in feminist courses at colleges and
universities.
