- Summary:
- Drawing on extensive research and 15 years' worth of surviving letters, Susan E. Lindsey illuminates the trials and triumphs of building a new life in Liberia, where settlers were free, but struggled to acclimatise in an unfamiliar land, coexist with indigenous groups, and overcome disease and other dangers. 'Liberty Brought Us Here' explores the motives and attitudes of colonization supporters and those who lived in the colony, offering perspectives beyond the standard narrative that colonization was solely about racism or forced exile.
