Summary: Hard to put down
Comment: Great example of true, hard-to-find storytelling. Very compelling. For those who love history combined with modern-day issues this is the book to read. Easy to see that a great deal of research went into telling the story of a group of Mississippi slaves and what became of them and their descendants over the course of a century and a half. Takes you back in time -- down a road of intrigue, sadness and hope for the future. Huffman does a nice job.

Summary: A better understanding
Comment: Recently I heard Huffman speak about his book. I was unfamiliar with the story he told. Although his talk was interesting enough to result in my purchase of the book, it did not prepare me for the journey i took once I read the book. This book is a must read for anyone interested in discovering an overlooked and fascinating piece of Mississippi history and the history of slavery. The story he tells is one we all should read for a better understanding of how the intentions of one country man in Mississippi a century later can influence a country in Africa.

Summary: Beautifully written
Comment: Having recently met a family of Liberian refugees, I wanted to learn more about the country. I really went in search of LIBERIA:PORTRAIT OF A FAILED STATE but came upon MISSISSIPPI IN AFRICA instead and am so glad I did. It is complex and bittersweet, offering no easy blame or solutions.
