Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (January 16, 2006 – ) -- Appendices restricted access http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ec online access with authorization star Every year since 1848 Liberian presidents have delivered a state of the nation address to the Liberian National Legislature reflecting the various facets of the political, social, economic and ethno-cultural situation of the country. Liberia, the first and – for more than a century – the only independent state in Sub-Saharan Africa, was founded in 1822 by an assortment of American non-governmental organizations as an asylum for black Americans. Similar to a comprehensive longitudinal study, this collection of speeches describes the social and economic development of an African country over a time span of more than a century and a half, from 1848 until 2010. As such, it represents the first major research contribution to the history of the political system of one of the first countries of the continent to attain independence. The speeches illuminate the area of conflict between the autochthonous and the black emigrant populations and also documents the relations with the U.S. as "founding nation" and constitutional role model, especially in the 19th century. The presidents' speeches are a rich source of information for gaining a better understanding of Liberia's past and the country's current challenges and future prospects. With The Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia 1848–2010, the speeches scattered in various Liberian and American archives and libraries have now for the first time been collected and reconstructed in one single edition. Biographies of the presidents and a scholarly introduction by the editor supplement the 146 speeches. The edition is a valuable source of information on the history and political situation of Africa during the past 163 years. The editor and publisher D. Elwood Dunn teaches political science at Sewanee: The University of the South. From 1974 until 1980 he served in the government of Liberia, becoming a member of the cabinet in 1979. He was editor of the Liberian Studies Journal from 1985 until 1995. Jährlich seit 1848 halten die liberianischen Präsidenten vor dem Parlament eine Rede zur Lage der Nation, in der sich die jeweils aktuelle politische, soziale, wirtschaftliche und ethno-kulturelle Situation des Landes facettenreich widerspiegelt. Liberia, der erste und über ein Jahrhundert der einzige freie Staates Schwarzafrikas, wurde 1822 mit Unterstützung der American Colonization Society als Siedlungsgebiet für Afroamerikaner gegründet. 1847 erklärte Liberia seine Unabhängigkeit und bildete sein politisches System nach dem US-amerikanischen Vorbild aus. Mit der Darstellung der gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Entwicklung eines afrikanischen Landes in einem umfassenden historischen Längsschnitt von 1848 bis 2010 über eineinhalb Jahrhunderte hinweg wird erstmals ein Beitrag zur Forschungsgeschichte des politischen Systems eines der ersten unabhängigen Staaten des Kontinents geleistet. Dies trägt zu einer Erhellung des Spannungsfelds zwischen autochthoner Bevölkerung und ameriko-liberianischer Bevölkerung bei und bildet nicht zuletzt eine Dokumentation der Beziehungen zu den USA als der "Gründernation" und verfassungspolitischen Vorbild, besonders im 19. Jahrhundert. Die Reden der Präsidenten stellen somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der Vergangenheit, der gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen und der zukünftigen Perspektiven Liberias dar. Mit den Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia 1848–2010 liegen diese Dokumente, die in zahlreichen liberianischen und US-amerikanischen Archiven und Bibliotheken verstreut sind, erstmals gesammelt und rekonstruiert in einer Edition vor. Ergänzt werden die 146 Reden durch Biographien der Präsidenten sowie einer wissenschaftlichen Einleitung des Herausgebers. Die Edition stellt eine erstrangige Quelle zur Geschichte und Politik Afrikas der letzten 163 Jahre dar. Der Bearbeiter und Herausgeber D. Elwood Dunn lehrt Politikwissenschaften an der University of the South, Sewanee. Er arbeitete von 1974 bis 1980 für die liberianische Regierung, seit 1979 als Kabinettsmitglied, und war von 1985 bis 1995 als Herausgeber des "Liberian Studies Journal" tätig.

Liberia, the first and – for more than a century – the only independent state in Sub-Saharan Africa, was founded in 1822 by an assortment of American non-governmental organizations as an asylum for black Americans. Similar to a comprehensive longitudinal study, this collection of speeches describes the social and economic development of an African country over a time span of more than a century and a half, from 1848 until 2010. As such, it represents the first major research contribution to the history of the political system of one of the first countries of the continent to attain independence. The speeches illuminate the area of conflict between the autochthonous and the black emigrant populations and also documents the relations with the U.S. as "founding nation" and constitutional role model, especially in the 19th century. The presidents' speeches are a rich source of information for gaining a better understanding of Liberia's past and the country's current challenges and future prospects. With The Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia 1848–2010, the speeches scattered in various Liberian and American archives and libraries have now for the first time been collected and reconstructed in one single edition. Biographies of the presidents and a scholarly introduction by the editor supplement the 146 speeches. The edition is a valuable source of information on the history and political situation of Africa during the past 163 years. The editor and publisher D. Elwood Dunn teaches political science at Sewanee: The University of the South. From 1974 until 1980 he served in the government of Liberia, becoming a member of the cabinet in 1979. He was editor of the Liberian Studies Journal from 1985 until 1995.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="520" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Jährlich seit 1848 halten die liberianischen Präsidenten vor dem Parlament eine Rede zur Lage der Nation, in der sich die jeweils aktuelle politische, soziale, wirtschaftliche und ethno-kulturelle Situation des Landes facettenreich widerspiegelt. Liberia, der erste und über ein Jahrhundert der einzige freie Staates Schwarzafrikas, wurde 1822 mit Unterstützung der American Colonization Society als Siedlungsgebiet für Afroamerikaner gegründet. 1847 erklärte Liberia seine Unabhängigkeit und bildete sein politisches System nach dem US-amerikanischen Vorbild aus. Mit der Darstellung der gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Entwicklung eines afrikanischen Landes in einem umfassenden historischen Längsschnitt von 1848 bis 2010 über eineinhalb Jahrhunderte hinweg wird erstmals ein Beitrag zur Forschungsgeschichte des politischen Systems eines der ersten unabhängigen Staaten des Kontinents geleistet. Dies trägt zu einer Erhellung des Spannungsfelds zwischen autochthoner Bevölkerung und ameriko-liberianischer Bevölkerung bei und bildet nicht zuletzt eine Dokumentation der Beziehungen zu den USA als der "Gründernation" und verfassungspolitischen Vorbild, besonders im 19. Jahrhundert. Die Reden der Präsidenten stellen somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der Vergangenheit, der gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen und der zukünftigen Perspektiven Liberias dar. Mit den Annual Messages of the Presidents of Liberia 1848–2010 liegen diese Dokumente, die in zahlreichen liberianischen und US-amerikanischen Archiven und Bibliotheken verstreut sind, erstmals gesammelt und rekonstruiert in einer Edition vor. Ergänzt werden die 146 Reden durch Biographien der Präsidenten sowie einer wissenschaftlichen Einleitung des Herausgebers. Die Edition stellt eine erstrangige Quelle zur Geschichte und Politik Afrikas der letzten 163 Jahre dar. Der Bearbeiter und Herausgeber D. Elwood Dunn lehrt Politikwissenschaften an der University of the South, Sewanee. Er arbeitete von 1974 bis 1980 für die liberianische Regierung, seit 1979 als Kabinettsmitglied, und war von 1985 bis 1995 als Herausgeber des "Liberian Studies Journal" tätig.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="538" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Mode of access: Internet via World Wide Web.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">In English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 29.
