First Liberian Civil War:the crises of underdevelopment / George Klay Kieh,Jr. - 1st edition - New York : Peter Lang , 2008. - xii,211 pages

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.Includes bibliographical references and index.
