Overview:

Blue Clay People: Seasons on Africa's Fragile Edge : When William Powers went to Liberia as a fresh-faced aid worker in 1999, he was given the mandate to âfight poverty and save the rainforest.â It wasn't long before Powers saw how many obstacles lay in the way, discovering first-hand how Liberia has become a âblack hole in the international systemâ - poor, environmentally looted, scarred by violence, and barely governed. Blue Clay People is an absorbing blend of humor, compassion, and rigorous moral questioning, arguing convincingly that the fate of endangered places such as Liberia must matter to all of us.
