When I
first read The Brightening Shadow in the 1970s, I did not
then appreciate that the twins Koli and Sumo, thrown apart
by the differences inherent in politics divided by discrimination
and deprivation, described my Liberia. My illiterate father
suffered forcible removal of labor in Spanish plantations,
while his peers worked as unpaid porters and laborers for
hinterland administrators. My father wanted his children educated,
and to learn “government book,” and not only “God
book,” so that they could integrate into Liberian society.
Future generations need to understand the emotional and spiritual
underpinning of this book and connect urban and rural lives
as this book does. Dr. Byron Tarr, Liberian Economist
