Beyond the Tribe: A Call to African Youth for Unity and Progress

Synopsis

Once a beacon of hope and prosperity, Liberia's potential was tragically fractured by civil conflict fueled by deep-seated tribal loyalties. This collection of essays, written in an inspirational stream-of-consciousness style, confronts the enduring legacy of tribalism and the 'crab mentality' that continues to impede social and economic progress not only in Liberia but across Africa. Targeted at the vibrant youth of the continent, and especially young Liberians, the book passionately argues that true development can only flourish when citizens transcend ethnic and religious divisions, embracing a shared identity and purpose. It is a heartfelt plea for harmony, cooperation, and the collective effort needed to rebuild nations and unlock their full potential, urging the next generation to break free from the shackles of the past and forge a united, prosperous future.
