Bibliography BIbLIOGRaPHY ARCHIVaL MaTERIaL Information provided in this book has been culled from two archives: – The Public Record Offce, London – The Archives of the Liberian State Department, Monrovia At the Public Record Offce, London, the following series of documents were consulted: Foreign Offce (F.O.) 367 – Political and Diplomatic Series on Liberia for the years 1912 and 1913. Foreign Offce (F.O.) 368 – Commercial Series. Foreign Offce (F.O.) 369 – Consular Series. Foreign Offce (F.O.) 371 – Political and Diplomatic Series on Liberia for the years 1914–40. Foreign Offce (F.O.) 371 – Documents on Contract Labour. Foreign Offce (F.O.) 372 – Treaty Series. Foreign Offce (F.O.) 458 – Embassy and Consular Archives, Liberia – correspon- dence 1910–40. Colonial Offce (C.O.) 96 and 98 Documents on the Gold Coast. Colonial Offce (C.O.) 267 Documents on Sierra Leone. The Archives of the Liberian State Department, 85 Ashmun Street, Monrovia (the new Centre for National Documents and Records Agency building was under construction when I left Liberia) were very useful in supplementing informa- tion obtained from London. For lack of proper classifcation, it is diffcult to state precisely the documents consulted. The body of the book, however, indi- cates the specifc source of the information used. © The Author(s) 2018 253 J.

  • Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia
    ‘Listen, Politics is not for Children:’ Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia. DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Henryatta Louise Ballah Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Drs. Ousman Kobo, Advisor Antoinette Errante Ahmad Sikianga i Copyright by Henryatta Louise Ballah 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the historical causes of the Liberian civil war (1989- 2003), with a keen attention to the history of Liberian youth, since the beginning of the Republic in 1847. I carefully analyzed youth engagements in social and political change throughout the country’s history, including the ways by which the civil war impacted the youth and inspired them to create new social and economic spaces for themselves. As will be demonstrated in various chapters, despite their marginalization by the state, the youth have played a crucial role in the quest for democratization in the country, especially since the 1960s. I place my analysis of the youth in deep societal structures related to Liberia’s colonial past and neo-colonial status, as well as the impact of external factors, such as the financial and military support the regime of Samuel Doe received from the United States during the cold war and the influence of other African nations. I emphasize that the socio-economic and political policies implemented by the Americo- Liberians (freed slaves from the U.S.) who settled in the country beginning in 1822, helped lay the foundation for the civil war.
