This monograph is an anthropological study of the social significance
of English among Kru residents of Monrovia, the capital city of
Liberia.  Based on participant-observation ethnography, this study
constructs a theoretical approach in which macrolevel and microlevel
perspectives are integrated.

By viewing the use of English in relation to changing social identity,
the monograph contributes to our understanding of how African citizens
use language to negotiate conflicts and aspirations based on
socioeconomic position and ethnic solidarity.
