En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on a largely confidential initiative, the book explores the Liberia Education Project from its inception in 1917 to its conclusion in 1947. Spearheaded by the Phelps-Stokes Fund and supported by several churches and major corporations, the project aimed to cultivate a compliant workforce for rubber plantations while countering the spread of Islam. It faced interruptions, notably during a yellow fever epidemic in 1929, and shifted leadership to the U.S. government post-World War II, reflecting broader geopolitical interests in West Africa.
