Liberia, Fascism, etc. or what I've been working on . . .

Hi All,

This weekend I finished reading George Schuyler's Slaves Today, a disturbing account of the Americo-Liberian essentially slave-like treatment of native Liberians in the first decades of the twentieth century. Prior to that I read, Schuyler's serialized protest novel against the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. Today I read newspaper articles on the African American response to Italian fascism and Nazi Germany. I'm still trying to sort out an argument for what will be my last chapter--gotta start writing!

Good night...

Martha
