{"product_id":"culture-and-customs-of-liberia","title":"Culture and Customs of Liberia","description":"Liberia has a strong connection to the United States in that it was founded by former slaves in 1822. Although Liberia had existed as an independent African nation and a symbol of hope to the African peoples under the rule of various colonial powers, its recent history has been bedeviled by a prolonged upheaval following a military coup d'etat in 1980. In this context, the narrative highlights the distinctiveness of Liberians in their negotiation of traditional indigenous and modern practices, and the changes wrought by Christianity and Western influences.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0313332916\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0313332916.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Olukoju, Ayodeji\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43413027192893,"sku":"BVV.0313332916.VG","price":21.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0313332916-0.jpg?v=1785533912","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/culture-and-customs-of-liberia","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
