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.AfricaHistoryAmericaHistoryAsiaHistoryEthnologyCultureUnited StatesHistoryAfrican HistoryHistory of the AmericasAsian HistoryRegional Cultural StudiesUS HistoryAfricaHistory.AmericaHistory.AsiaHistory.Ethnology.Culture.United StatesHistory.African History.History of the Americas.Asian History.Regional Cultural Studies.US History.966 62/01/092BBeyan Amos Jones1794490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960825603321African American Settlements in West Africa4335169UNINA
