Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa. It shares borders with six other countries including Niger, Mali, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, and Benin. It has a population of approximately 20 million people with over 60 different ethnic groups. The official language is French, although many other African languages are spoken such as Moore, Dioula, and Fulfulde. Burkina Faso is known for its diverse culture and historical landmarks. The country has several natural landmarks including the Karfiguela Waterfall, Pama-Yanga Wildlife Reserve, and the Sacred Grove of Kpenkpen. The country is also known for its festivals such as FESPACO, which is a biennial event showcasing African cinema. Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world with a largely agricultural economy. Despite the challenges, Burkina Faso is working towards economic development through programs such as microfinance and ecotourism.

Burkina Faso, known as Upper Volta until its independence from France in 1960, and locally called the "land of the upright people," is a medium-sized land-locked country with no less than six neighbors, some of which periodically get into trouble... which makes it reasonably strategic in some ways. While it has not done as poorly as some other African states, its economic has certainly not prospered and many Burkinabe go abroad to earn a living. As for politics, it is another case of stability without democracy, even if there are periodic elections. Still, this is better than not even having stability. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Burkina Faso covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, maps, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Burkina Faso.

Poor even by the standards of West Africa and landlocked at the edge of the Sahel, Burkina Faso—the “Land of Men of Dignity”—has been plagued by political instability since independence from France in 1960. The country has suffered five military coups, the last of which cost the life of the outspoken and charismatic leader Thomas Sankara, who had waged war on poverty, corruption, and illiteracy. Yet Burkina’s growth was surprisingly strong during the 1980s, as it made the best of its meager assets in cotton, gold, and livestock. The country is also fortunate in its relative lack of ethnic conflict, and the several religions practiced—Islam, Christianity, and animism— peacefully coexist. Burkina has earned mixed reviews on the international stage, however, fighting two wars with Mali and supporting Taylor’s rebels in the Liberian civil war. In this textured introduction to Burkina Faso, Pierre Englebert highlights the historical and contemporary factors that account for the country’s instability; considers the ethnic, religious, and social contours of the Burkinabé polity; examines in depth the country’s economic policies and prospects; and analyzes Burkina’s external relations. Looking toward the next millennium, he concludes by assessing the chances of the apparent recent drive toward a more democratic system.

'This is a great resource chronicling Anglophone Burkinabe literature, opening up the Francophone country Burkina Faso to the world! Kabore finally brings us a much awaited and sorely needed detailed compendium of a range of works written in English (or translated into English) starting in 1989 up to present, including poetry, plays, novels, tales, and shamen's works. Key themes addressed, such as witchcraft, women's emancipation with bicycle transportation, feminism, creation myths, and ecocriticism will allow scholars of Anglophone African literature to include Burkinabe literature into their comparative analysis. This book features over 25 Anglophone Burkinabe authors, the ancestors of future Anglophone Burkinabe authors. This compendium shall inspire further production of fine Burkinabe literature in English! Kabore's call for required reading of Anglophone Burkinabe literature in Burkinabe schools; his call for these Burkinabe writers to make their English works available in Burk

Under Sankara's leadership, the revolutionary government of Burkina Faso in West Africa mobilized peasants, workers, women, and youth 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. Sankara speaks as an outstanding revolutionary leader of working people and youth the world over. 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

Togo is a West African country that has been shaped by its diverse history, ranging from pre-colonial empires to French colonial rule to independence struggles. The country is a relatively small nation in terms of land size and population, but it has a rich cultural and linguistic heritage. The official language is French, but there are many indigenous languages spoken by different ethnic groups throughout the country. Despite being a generally peaceful country, Togo has faced its share of political turbulence in recent years. Togo has experienced numerous coup attempts and waves of social unrest, particularly in relation to fair elections and political freedoms. However, Togo has also made significant strides in economic development, particularly in areas such as agriculture and manufacturing. Togo is also known for its natural beauty, including sandy beaches, rolling hills, and tropical rainforests, making it a popular destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts alike.
