  • Ousmane K. Power-Greene. Against Wind and Tide

    Eric BurinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2015

    The last 20 years have witnessed a surge in scholarship on the American Colonization Society (ACS), Liberia, and related subjects.

Two Web sites, Maps of Liberia, 1830–1870 and The Liberian Letters, can help mitigate that historiographic shortcoming. The Library of Congress launched Maps of Liberia…

    Few topics have garnered more scholarly attention lately than the African colonization movement. Now more than ever, researchers appreciate colonization's enduring role in the politics of slavery. Yet most of them continue to portray colonization as quixotic fantasy that inevitably failed as a public policy. In truth, the movement scored a number of triumphs. None was more important than the establishment of Liberia. This essay examines the first…
