Empire of Rubber: Firestone’s Scramble for Land and Power in Liberia by Gregg Mitman is a work of historical nonfiction that examines the relationship between the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, the Liberian state, and United States power in the twentieth century. Centered on Firestone entry into Liberia in 1926, the book traces how a private corporation secured vast land concessions and built one of the largest rubber plantation systems in the world. Mitman places this story within the larger histories of African sovereignty, racial capitalism, environmental transformation, public health, and the politics of development. Liberia, founded by Black settlers from the United States and long imagined as a symbol of Black self-rule, becomes in this account a site where liberationist hopes collided with foreign capital and imperial pressure. The book aims not only to recover a neglected history of rubber production, but also to explain how corporate power reshaped land, labor, science, and political autonomy in a formally independent African nation.
