Like other Liberians, the Glebo people make a social distinction between western-educated wage-earners, or \"civilized people,\" and traditional subsistence agriculturists, or \"natives.\" The civilized-native dichotomy splits the Glebo community and Liberian society in general, in contrast to other West African nations, where ethnicity or regionalism provides important markers of personal identity.Through a close analysis of the local history of male labor migration, contact with African-American settlers, and the influence of Protestant Episcopal missionaries, Mary H. Moran shows how the Glebo have incorporated the civilized\/native dichotomy into other systems of prestige allocation based on gender and age, capturing the poignant nature of \"civilized\" and traditional roles for women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary H.
