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.

In October 2014, huge protests across Burkina Faso succeeded in overthrowing the long-entrenched regime of their authoritarian ruler, Blaise Compaoré. Defying all expectations, this popular movement went on to defeat an attempted coup by the old regime, making it possible for a transitional government to organize free and fair elections the following year. In doing so, the people of this previously obscure West African nation surprised the world, and their struggle stands as one of the few instances of a popular democratic uprising succeeding in postcolonial sub-Saharan Africa. For over three decades, Ernest Harsch has researched and reported from Burkina Faso, interviewing subjects ranging from local democratic activists to revolutionary icon Thomas Sankara, the man once dubbed 'Africa's Che Guevara.' In this book, Harsch provides a compelling history of this little understood country, from the French colonial period to the Compaoré regime and the movement that finally deposed him.

Dans l’impasse d’un système politique qui perdure depuis vingt-sept ans ; le Burkina Faso après la révolution du 3 janvier 1966 qui emporta Maurice Yameogo premier président du pays, a tourné dos à Blaise Compaore septième président, le 31 octobre 2014 suite à une insurrection populaire. Une nouvelle génération inadaptée à cette vieille politique démodée, prit tout le risque en confrontant la mort pour aller se débarrasser d’un régime plus dictatorial que pro-constitutionnel. Dans cette marche pour aboutir à l’insurrection ; deux conceptions incarnées en deux individus différents l’un l’autre, se sont confrontées et affrontées jusqu’aux 30 et 31 octobre 2014, où l’une d’entre elles a terminé sa course derrière les portes d’entrée du pays. Ce livre, deuxième partie du livre « Trahison au nom du peuple » paru le 30 septembre 2014 un mois avant l’insurrection, est non seulement l’accomplissement de ce qui a été prédit dans le premier, mais aussi l’analyse de la chute d’un régime et de la prise du pouvoir par le MPP (Mouvement du Peuple pour le Progrès) un Parti politique né il y a à peine neuf mois.

The change in name from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso has mirrored equally important changes in the country's lifestyle. Yet despite numerous military and civilian governments since 1960, Burkina Faso still faces many of the same challenges it confronted decades ago: malnutrition, drought, lack of natural resources, debt, and the difficulties of industrial development in a region that is often unstable. At the same time, the people of Burkina Faso prove to be hard working and resourceful, and have persevered through many harsh conditions, and continue to improve the standard of living in their nation. The Historical Dictionary of Burkina Faso is the second edition of Daniel McFarland's Historical Dictionary of Upper Volta from 1978. As with the earlier edition, this volume provides information on important persons, places and events, political parties, government organizations, economy, and culture. Most importantly, new entries update information on occurrences in the twenty years that have intervened between the two volumes, providing perspectives on recent social, international, political, and cultural issues. The book also includes a detailed chronology of the history of Upper Volta/Burkina Faso, from precolonial times to the current changes in governmental structure and Burkina Faso's relationship to other countries in the region, many in similar situations. The bibliography in the current edition contains 1300 entries, more than one-third in English, versus the 600 entries found in the 1978 edition, and increases the number of English language sources considerably. With such a substantial revision, scholars and librarians will find the Historical Dictionary of Burkina Faso a major addition to their collection. The expansion in resources and materials of interest, as well as the chronological and governmental updates, make this new edition an unavoidable part of any complete collection.

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

Cet ouvrage s'intéresse, en premier lien, à l'environnement naturel : le climat, la flore et la faune sauvages. Enumérant les plantes, il en indique aussi les utilisations principales y compris dans la pharmacopée traditionnelle. Il décrit les animaux sauvages du Burkina et leur habitat : le vocabulaire utilisé sera compris par tous, mais les chasseurs - et sans doute même les naturalistes - trouveront des informations utiles. Les Burkinabè chantent et dansent pour accompagner tous les actes de la vie : un chapitre traite de la place de la musique et décrit les instruments pratiqués par les différentes ethnies. Puis sont abordés l'architecture et ses différents visages du plus traditionnel au plus moderne. Une partie largement illustrée est consacrée à l'artisanat - très riche - qui tient une place importante dans l'économie du pays. Le cinéma a fait la réputation du Burkina parmi les amateurs et des professionnels : un chapitre propose une présentation des films, réalisateurs et manifestations du septième art au Faso. Enfin, et cela étonnera certains lecteurs, l'art culinaire n'a pas été oublié. Cet ouvrage collectif, ni savant, ni ethnologique, est le troisième du genre, après Traditions et modernité au Burkina-Faso et La vie quotidienne au Burkina-Faso, consacré au Burkina par les mêmes auteurs. Sa lecture permettra de connaître d'autres aspects de ce pays et d'apprécier mieux encore les Burkinabè, leur art de vivre et leurs talents.
