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. Also available in French (ISBN: 9780873489874). “There is real historical value and enduring inspiration in a close reading of many of these speeches…and it is easy to see how two generations of Burkinabe continue to be in admiration of his oratory.” –African Studies Review
