內容簡介

Beyond the Palm Trees begins with the historic arrival of American free black slaves at what was once known as the 'Grain Coast' and is now called Liberia. It illustrates how the acquisition of land began in the country and the establishment of the Oil Palm Plantations Company, the first and largest plantation in Liberia. Beyond the Palm Trees tells the story of a young man from the country-side whose primary ambition-to marry and live a normal family life -is derailed by a series of unfortunate events, including catching his newly wedded wife in bed with another man. Later, he marries another woman who produces two, fine sons. Due to his frequent and prolonged absences from his village because of work, however, the young man one day returns home and finds his wife heavily pregnant by another man. What happens next is up to the reader to discover. This story does not reflect the true images of actual people who may still bear the actual names of its main characters: there's no entity known as the ''Oil Palm Plantations Company'' in Liberia; and although there are villages named Nyandemoh-Lahun in Lofa County, Dar-Es-Salaam in Grand Cape -mount County, and Gbakokoyata in Bong County, there is no settlement in Liberia known as ''Lopolu or Freeman Town.'' References made of Gardnersville, Bardnersville; Charlesville and other settlements are purely an illustration of fictional dimensions and have nothing to do with the reality of the present-day geopolitical divisions of Liberia.
