Charles Taylor's Involvement
Charles Taylor's Involvement: the Bitterness of War catalogues several specific acts of atrocities committed on the people of Sierra Leone during the ten-year war in the country from 1991 to 2001. These narrations are meant to provide a lesson to countries around the world about the dangers of sliding into mayhem. The insinuations given indicate the foolhardiness of engaging in high-handed and ruthless acts without fear of repercussion. The role of Charles Taylor in the war is highlighted mainly to point out the perception that he was largely made a scapegoat for the fact that he was incarcerated while upfront perpetrators were not punished. The untold ripple effects of such a disastrous war on a country is unlimited and very negative and can last for decades ahead. The obvious conclusion is that the idea of good governance should be upheld by governments if factions of society are to feel assimilated. Political space shouldn't be in short supply for the rank and file in any country.
Biographical Dictionary of Enslaved Black People in the Maritimes
This important book sheds light on more than 1,400 brief life histories of mostly enslaved Black people, with the goal of recovering their individual lives. Harvey Amani Whitfield unearths the stories of men, women, and children who would not otherwise have found their way into written history. The individuals mentioned come from various points of origin, including Africa, the West Indies, the Carolinas, the Chesapeake, and the northern states, showcasing the remarkable range of the Black experience in the Atlantic world. Whitfield makes it clear that these enslaved Black people had likes, dislikes, distinct personality traits, and different levels of physical, spiritual, and intellectual talent. Biographical Dictionary of Enslaved Black People in the Maritimes affirms the notion that they were all unique individuals, despite the efforts of their owners and the wider Atlantic world to dehumanize and erase them.
