Every year since 1848 the Liberian president has delivered a state of the nation speech to parliament, reflecting in detail the country's current political, social, economic and ethno-cultural situation. Liberia, the first and for over one hundred years, the only independent state in black Africa, was founded in 1847 by freed slaves with the assistance of the American Colonization Society looking to the political system of the USA as an example.The Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia to the National Legislature 1848-2010 presents these documents, which are scattered in numerous American and African archives, for the first time in single publication. The 146 speeches are supplemented by biographies of the presidents and a scholarly introduction by the editor.This publication represents a first-class source on African history and politics of the last 160 years.

<p>About the Author\nD. Elwood Dunn, Ph.D (1972), American University, is the Alfred Walter Negley Professor of Politics Emeritus, Sewanee, University of the South (a University of the Episcopal Church in Tennessee). Dunn published widely on Liberia during his 31 years at Sewanee, including Liberia And The United States During The Cold War, Limits of Reciprocity. Before Sewanee, he served in the government of his native Liberia, becoming the last Minister of State for Presidential Affairs during the First Republic.\nA Liberian academic and former government official accounts for and reflects upon half a century of work and experience. An important Liberian political memoir, the book is at once Dunn’s critical exposition on his country and an attempt to explain how Liberia came to be what it is today. In 26 captivating chapters he recounts careers as academic, and services as aide to slain Liberian President Tolbert and consultant to former President Johnson Sirleaf. Between government service in crisis times (late 1970s) and in hopeful times (early 2000s) is positioned more than three decades of University teaching and research.</p>
