“Ses vues sur le nécessaire rééquilibrage entre villes et campagnes, sur l’importance cruciale de l’émancipation de la femme ou encore sur la réduction du train de vie de l’Etat – histoire de gouverner par l’exemple – sont en parfaite syntonie avec les revendications des populations africaines actuelles.” —Le Monde Diplomatique

About the Author
Thomas Sankara (1949–1987) was the central leader of the popular, democratic revolution in the West African country of Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) from 1983 to 1987.
Sankara entered military school in 1966. Continuing his training in Madagascar in the early 1970s, he was introduced to Marxism by students who had been part of the May 1968 upsurge in France.
In Upper Volta’s army, Sankara linked up with other soldiers opposed to the conditions in the country perpetuated by the imperialist rulers in Paris and elsewhere, with the support of local landlords and businessmens.
He was jailed briefly in 1982 after protesting the regime’s repressive policies. In the wake of a coup, he was appointed prime minister in January 1983. In May 1983 he and some of his supporters were arrested by President Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo.
In August 1983, the Ouédraogo regime was overthrown in a popular uprising. Sankara became president of the new National Council of the Revolution, opening four years of revolutionary activity by peasants, workers, women, and youth. He was assassinated and the revolutionary government was overthrown in a coup by Blaise Compaoré on October 15, 1987.
Sankara’s speeches and writing are collected in:Thomas Sankara Speaks (1988)
Women’s Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle (1990)
We Are Heirs of the World’s Revolutions (2002)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sous la direction de Thomas Sankara, le gouvernement revolutionnaire du Burkina Faso en Afrique de l'Ouest a mobilise les paysans, les travailleurs, les femmes et les jeunes pour mener des campagnes d'alphabetisation et de vaccination ; creuser des puits, planter des arbres, construire des barrages et des logements ; combattre l'oppression des femmes et transformer les relations d'exploitation a la campagne ; se liberer du joug imperialiste et pratiquer la solidarite internationale. Dans ce recueil de 30 discours et entrevues, Thomas Sankara parle comme un remarquable dirigeant revolutionnaire des travailleurs, des agriculteurs et des jeunes du monde entier. La deuxieme edition comprend une nouvelle introduction par l'editeur, Michel Prairie, ainsi qu'une preface, des cartes, une chronologie, un glossaire et un index. Le cahier de photos de 32 pages contient beaucoup de photos inedites de la revolution au Burkina Faso. Parlant de la premiere edition en anglais, publiee par Pathfinder en 1988, Victoria Brittain a ecrit dans le Guardian de Londres: L'originalite de sa pensee, [.] sa connaissance des realites socio-economiques du pays, sa comprehension des rapports de force internationaux [.] font de ce recueil de textes un outil tres utile. Exprimees avec passion et lucidite, ses vues sur le necessaire reequilibrage entre villes et campagnes, sur l'importance cruciale de l'emancipation de la femme [.] sont en parfaite syntonie avec les revendications des populations africaines actuelles.'Le Monde diplomatiqueThomas Sankara led the revolution that took place in the West African country Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987. In this collection of speeches and interviews, Sankara explains how during those years the peasants and workers of Burkina Faso: *established a popular revolutionary government; *started to fight the hunger, illiteracy, and economic backwardness imposed by imperialist domination; *and began to combat the oppression of women inherited from thousands of years of class society. Their actions set an example not only for the workers and peasants of Africa but for those of the whole world, then and now. Sankara was assassinated October 15, 1987, in a coup carried out by the country's current president, Blaise Compaore. Second edition includes a new introduction by editor Michel Prairie, foreword, maps, chronology and glossary, as well as an index. Thirty-two page photo section features many unpublished photos of the Burkina Faso revolution. Of the first edition, published by Pathfinder in 1988, Victoria Brittain wrote in the London Guardian, ?The courage and originality which made him and Burkina Faso the inspiration they were to so many Africans shine out of this collection of his most important speeches.' ?The originality of Sankara's ideas ? along with his awareness of the social and economic realities of his country, his understanding of the international relations of forces ? make this collection a highly useful tool. Expressed with passion and clarity, his views on the necessity of a new balance between the city and the countryside, on the crucial importance of the emancipation of women ? are in perfect keeping with the demands of the peoples of Africa today.'?Le Monde diplomatique Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
