Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983-1987 / Edition 2

by Thomas Sankara, Mary-Alice Waters

Overview

Under Sankara’s leadership, the revolutionary government of Burkina Faso in West Africa set an electrifying example. Peasants, workers, women, and youth mobilized to carry out literacy and immunization drives; to sink wells, plant trees, build dams, erect housing; to combat the oppression of women and transform exploitative relations on the land; to free themselves from the imperialist yoke and solidarize with others engaged in that fight internationally.
