Description

We Are the Heirs of the World's Revolutions: Speeches from the Burkina Faso Revolution 1983-87, 2nd Edition by Thomas Sankara This collection of speeches from the 1983-87 revolution in Burkina Faso offers a unique insight into the struggles and triumphs of a popular revolutionary government. Drawing on the lessons of past revolutions, including the American and French revolutions, Sankara explains how the peasants and workers of Burkina Faso established a new system of governance and began to address the pressing issues of hunger, illiteracy, and economic backwardness imposed by imperialist domination. Through these speeches, Sankara shares the vision of a more just and equal society, where the rights of women and the working class are respected. This pamphlet provides a valuable example of a successful popular revolution and its potential to inspire social change around the world. Available in English, French, Spanish, and Farsi, this edition includes a preface by Mary-Alice Waters, introduction by Michel Prairie, and supporting materials such as photos, maps, and an index.
