{"product_id":"culture-and-customs-of-liberia-ayodeji-olukoju-9780313332913","title":"Culture and Customs of Liberia","description":"Liberia has a strong connection to the United States in that it was founded by former slaves in 1822. Although Liberia had existed as an independent African nation and a symbol of hope to the African peoples under the rule of various colonial powers, its recent history has been bedeviled by a prolonged upheaval following a military coup d'etat in 1980. In this context, the narrative highlights the distinctiveness of Liberians in their negotiation of traditional indigenous and modern practices, and the changes wrought by Christianity and Western influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ayodeji Olukoju\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313332916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313332913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.16w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 67","brand":"Ayodeji Olukoju","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761019646207,"sku":"9780313332913","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a75fef17-15d6-4e50-a2be-36169b557e56.jpg?v=1706680145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-and-customs-of-liberia-ayodeji-olukoju-9780313332913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
