Beyan1st ed. 2005.New York Palgrave20051 online resource (176 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-349-53094-8 1-4039-6891-8 Includes bibliographical references (p. [147]-163) and index.John Brown Russwurm and African American Settlement in West Africa examines Russwurm's intellectual accomplishments and significant contributions to the black civil rights movement in America from 1826 - 1829, and more significantly explores the essential characteristics that distinguished his thoughts and endeavours from other black leaders in America, Liberia and Maryland in Liberia. Not surprisingly, the most controversial of Russwurm's ideas was his unwavering support of the American Colonization Society (ACS) and the Maryland State Colonization Society (MSCS), two organizations that most civil rights activists found racist and pro-slavery. Beyan probes the social and intellectual sources, underlying motives and the legacies of Russwurm's thoughts and endeavours, all in an attempt to dissect why Russwurm acted and made the choices that he did.African AmericansColonizationLiberiaHistory19th centuryAfrican AmericansLiberiaBiographyGovernorsLiberiaBiographyLiberiaHistoryTo 1847African AmericansColonizationHistoryAfrican AmericansGovernors966 62/01/092BBeyan Amos Jones1527468MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784132303321African American settlements in West Africa3770333UNINA
