Negative Positive
Title: Highly Recommended
Review: Before reading this I knew next to nothing about Liberia, only that it was an American "colony" in Africa where freed US slaves returned, and now feel like I know it vividly. This book woke me up. Conflict diamonds, kid soldiers, aid workers living like lords. Blue clay people doesn't hit you over the head with guilt and pesimism, but lets dilemnas unfold through stories. Its all on-the-ground. I do feel even now that there's little that can be done about much of Africa, but there's plenty of hope here. I reccommend this completely.
