What did independence mean during the age of empires? How did
independent governments balance different interests when they made
policies about trade, money and access to foreign capital?
Sovereignty without Power tells the story of Liberia, one of the
few African countries to maintain independence through the colonial
period. Established in 1822 as a colony for freed slaves from the
United States, Liberia's history illustrates how the government's
efforts to exercise its economic sovereignty and engage with the
global economy shaped Liberia's economic and political development
over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Drawing together a
wide range of archival sources, Leigh A. Gardner presents the first
quantitative estimates of Liberian's economic performance and uses
these to compare it to its colonized neighbors and other
independent countries. Liberia's history anticipated challenges
still faced by developing countries today, and offers a new
perspective on the role of power and power relationships in shaping
Africa's economic history.
