This book examines the history of the relationship between Liberia
and Britain-the world's first black republic, founded by former
slaves, and the world's strongest colonial power. Jyotirmoy Pal
Chaudhuri excavates a wealth of archival sources to reconstruct a
turbulent narrative spanning key points in twentieth-century
Liberian history. Pal Chaudhuri argues that the Black Republic was
never a serious item on the British agenda for constructive action
in West Africa, as seen in the repeated failure of their
concessionaires, their interference with the Firestone rubber
project, and their efforts to have Liberia expelled from the League
of Nations. Untangling the conflicts and contradictions between
Britain's colonial interests and humanitarian ideals, Whitehall and
the Black Republic is a long overdue contribution to the history of
Liberia and the British Empire.
