Although many readers will find Going All the Way Round a guide to the care of their own aging parents, it is primarily the story of the author's ambivalence about her care of her parents as they aged. She hadn't expected to be a nurse. She found all kinds of surprises in dealing with her mother and father and the demands of care-giving. For example, there were her attempts to hire aides for her dad who wouldn't steal the silverware or bring their horses or husbands to work with them, and her mother's forgotten savings accounts. Dealing with their many problems made the author a strong and determined person. Despite the pain involved, she would not have changed anything.

Our founders had envisioned a great country and a great democracy. The color of the Liberian national flag and the form of government and the Liberian Constitution are telltale signs. Liberians living both at home and in the diaspora know that our country is headed in the wrong direction. From one failed leadership to another poor governance, the hopes of the people have been dashed or dismissed from one election cycle to the next. Politicians use false promises as a means to ascend to power, knowing they have selfish aims and ambitions to enrich themselves and their friends and families at the detriment of the poor Liberian people. The question now is, who can we trust? After 173 plus years, our country has not been able to make the transition from an agrarian society to a modern society where we have quality education that is accredited, a quality health-care system that is affordable and accessible, a country free from corruption, a country free from poverty, a quality road connectivity, safe drinking water, electricity, a justice system that has respect for the rule of law, a president who is more focused on development and modernization, and has respect for human lives. The majority of Liberians still live below the poverty line, and the gap between the haves and have-nots is still very big. We need a president with innovative thinking, who represents a generational change, and who can bring the Liberian people together rather than divide us into tribes and partisans. We need a leader who believers that we are one people, indivisible, with unity and liberty and justice for all. We need a president who believes that the task of this generation is to preserve the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We may never recover economically, or it may be very difficult for us to recover should the current administration win the next election or should we elect the wrong president. This is why I felt compelled to write this book as a caution to my fellow countrymen. We are at a crossroads in our history. The decision we will make in the 2023 presidential elections will determine our destiny. We can either choose a better and brighter future, or we can throw ourselves further backward. Our leaders of the past and most recent have been bankrupt in their thinking, and what we need now is a visionary and an energetic president backed by a group of leaders who believe in building a better Liberia than what our generation has inherited. When we do that, future generations will look back on us and say about us that this was the generation that rose up to the occasion and finally solved Liberia’s challenges. This is the time to restore democracy and integrity to the Liberian presidency. Please read this book, my fellow Liberians, and let us sit back and consider the consequences and implications of the 2023 presidential elections. As Americans will say, “This is the most consequential election.”

This book is about my beloved Liberia and the Liberian people who have endured a lot from a centuries-old leadership that failed miserably to provide opportunity, development and progress to a people and country. While it is so true that successive Liberian leaders failed to provide the competent and visionary leadership it takes to move the country forward, the blame for such failure cannot be thrown on Liberian presidents alone. The Liberian progressive and the so-called intellectual class are also to blame for helping to drag Liberia into the mud and backwardness to satisfy their own selfish political and financial gains. Instead of forcing the hands of the political ruling class to account for rampant corruption, negligence and their gross leadership failures that continue to dehumanize the Liberian people and threaten the survival of Liberia as a civilized nation, the intellectual class or progressives continue to conveniently align themselves with those painfully inept and corrupt leaders to pillage the country. As these progressive intellectuals ignore the After 169 years of Independence, there are barely electricity and modern roads and streets and running sewer in Liberia, or in major communities in the country. The nation's health care and school systems are in disarray. The President of Liberia still manipulates the legislative and judicial system, as if we are still living in the Tubman era. With all these national problems starring at us, most Liberian intellectuals and ?progressives? are mainly concerned with the presidency and whom to put in the Executive Mansion. This strategy ? a survivalist one, perhaps is intended to put these individuals in a position to return to Liberia to work in government if their candidate wins the presidency. We can still have our presidential candidates and still focus on building institutions ? strong institutions, so that the next president will not capitalize and manipulate the bad policies that plunged Liberia into dictatorship, poverty, war, and underdevelopment.

"The current population youth bulge in Africa highly commends the timeliness of this insightful publication, focusing on the life stories of young people who have persevered to surmont interminable difficulties in order to make something of their future. The powerful messages conveyed in the publication are of relevance not only to the youth of Africa who should be motivated by these worthy role models to also teach for the skies. The conviction that problems can be overcome, no matter the odds. It should equally convert policy makers to more proactively co-opt the energies of the youth, in order to unleash their latent potential, towards accelerated political and economic transformation of the continent. May there be more visionary luminaries like Olubanke King-Akerele in Africa's search for progress." -Dr. Mary Chinery-Hesse, Member of the Panel of the wise of the AU, Former Chief Advisor to the President of the Republic of Ghana & Deputy DG of the International Labor Organization (Retired) This book "Growing" of Africa's Emergent Leadership offers more than a mere publication about Africa's Youth and improvement programs. Even though they are without doubt the backbone of Africa's further expansion, Olubanke King-Akerele's work on the "Growing" of Africa's Emergent Leadership is both inspiring and exceptional, just as Olubanke herself. But above all, she is a visionary and this is exactly what Africa needs. Africa is now leading continent, which needs visionaries to further strengthen it's position in the world. This book is an inspiration, not only for me, but for all people feeling passionate about Africa and the development of the youth and it delights me to support Olubanke and her work in every possible way.-Prof. Armoogum Parsuramen G.O.S.KFounder-President Global Rainbow Foundation Minister of Education Mauritius (1983-1995) Olubanke King-Akerele has produce a masterpiece work that is not only relevant for today's developmental challenges, but also very likely to stand the test of time. The strength of the work lies in the visionary apporach and superb analyses of the author, which is itself largely informed by her own personal and professional growth and experience both on the national stage, in Liberia and in the international arena, spanning more than three decades. Anyone truly interested in Africa's development more broadly, and in particular, how leadership could positively influence that development, must have a copy of this work, eloquently written by one of Africa's foremost scholar diplomats. -Lalla Aicha Ben-Barka, Assistant Director-General, Africa UNESCO, Paris. The "Growing" of Africa's Emergent Leadership, demonstrates a succinct style of impressive clarity, and focuses on the seriousness and legitimacy of Africa's next generation and the need for continuous cultivation of the continent's majority constituents. The organization of the book reflects Honourable King-Akerele's vast experience in youth development which inspired her writing. My unequivocal recommendation of the book rest in it's stimulating and exciting, yet challenging reality - a must read for youth of all ages and adults, especially governments and the private sector facing the challenge of youth development for eventual national leadership.Dr. Emmet Dennis, President of University of Liberia

Originally formed to harbor freed slaves and Americans returning to Africa, Liberia once was a land of hope. That was shattered by a long Civil War that shook its very foundation. Today's Liberia is glimpsed in this second edition. Building on the first edition, this updated volume focuses on the personalities, from the founders of Liberia, to the soldiers who are responsible simultaneously for destruction and the hope of stability. Along with these people, various social and ethnic groups, political parties and labor movements, economic entities and natural resources are profiled in this updated work. A new chronology of Liberia is included, and a selected bibliography suggests further readings for the scholar.

From Civil Strife to Peace Building examines peace-building efforts in the fragile West African states of Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Côte d’Ivoire, with a focus on the role of the private sector in leading the reconstruction initiatives. Given that aid and debt relief, the traditional remedies for dependency and underdevelopment, have not been effective, the private sector is increasingly viewed as a major player in the revival of regional economies. Private sector support, however, requires government intervention to improve investment climates, curb corruption, strengthen the security sector, and reduce the cost of doing business. The contributors discuss ways in which West African governments can encourage the greater involvement of business in humanitarian support with incentives that demonstrate alignment with business objectives and profit margins, making humanitarian support simple and, more importantly, profitable and sustainable for both local and foreign investors.

This book is intended to contribute to the ongoing discourse about Liberia or about Africa, which has often left people perplexed. According to a 2013 World Bank report, Africa has 30 percent of the world’s minerals and proven oil reserves equivalent to 10 percent of global stock. How is it that Africa, which has such enormous mineral and oil wealth, is the poorest continent in the world? A similar question would suffice for Liberia, which became independent since 1847, has been a sovereign nation for over 170 years but is ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world. This is irrespective of the fact that the country is endowed with abundant natural resources. Accordingly, I herewith submit that Africa or Liberia is not poor but poorly managed, and that corruption is a major source of bad governance, widespread poverty and instability on the continent. There can be no question that corruption is like a cancer eating at the vitals of Africa, my beloved country Liberia being one of the worst affected on the continent. This is why this book is titled, Corruption is Destroying Africa: The Case of Liberia. Because of corruption, critical public services such as health and education have remained in a state of dysfunction.

Women haven't always had the right to vote. From such diverse voices as John Stuart Mill and Cokie Roberts, the absolute right of both women and men to vote has been affirmed. And yet, resistance to women's suffrage even by women themselves has a long and painful history. In this exciting volume, thirteen theologians and religious leaders in America look back at the historic victory in 1920 when women in the United States won the right to vote. They then assess the current situation and speak into the future. Women with 2020 Vision: American Theologians on the Voice, Vote, and Vision of Women commemorates the 100th anniversary of women in the United States obtaining the right to vote, a story that must be told and retold and reflected upon in light of the current sociopolitical-theological realities.

This timely and expansive multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary collection dissects precolonial, colonial, and post-independence issues of male dominance, power, and control over the female body in the legal, socio-cultural, and political contexts in Africa. Contributors focus on the historical, theoretical, and empirical narratives of intersecting perspectives of gender and patriarchy in at least ten countries across the major sub-regions of the African continent. In these well-researched chapters, authors provide a deeper understanding of patriarchy and gender inequality in identifying misogyny, resisting male supremacy, reforming discriminatory laws, embracing human-centered public policies, expanding academic scholarship on the continent, and more.
