Product Description
Nuestra revolución en Burkina Faso se inspira en todas las experiencias de los hombres desde el primer aliento de la humanidad. Queremos ser los herederos de todas las revoluciones del mundo, de todas las luchas de liberación de los pueblos del Tercer Mundo. Sacamos lecciones de la Revolución Americana. La Revolución Francesa nos enseñó; los derechos del hombre. La gran Revolución de Octubre permitió la victoria del proletariado e hizo posibles los sueños de justicia de la Comuna de París.
--Thomas Sankara

Thomas Sankara dirigió la revolución de 1983 a 1987 en Burkina Faso. En los cinco discursos aquí incluidos, explica cómo los campesinos y trabajadores de este país de África occidental establecieron un gobierno popular revolucionario y comenzaron a combatir el hambre, el analfabetismo y el atraso económico impuestos por la dominación imperialista, así como la opresión de la mujer heredada de milenios de sociedad de clases. Al hacerlo, han ofrecido un ejemplo no sólo a los trabajadores y pequeños agricultores de África, sino a los del mundo entero.

We need Sankara's idea and example more than ever
Thomas Sankara led the revolution of 1983 to 1987 in Burkina Faso is forgotten by many, but as the crisis of capitalist and free market counterrevolution wrecks the lives of Africa's peoples, he and his struggle will be remembered and the answers in this pamphlet will become life and death necessities. In the five speeches contained in this pamphlet, he explains how the peasants and workers of this West African country established a popular revolutionary government and began to fight the hunger, illiteracy and economic backwardness imposed by imperialist domination, and the oppression of women inherited from millennia of class society. In so doing, they have provided an example not only to the workers and small farmers of Africa, but to those of the entire world.

Right now, it is not only Africans who need a government based on working people and not the rich, but millions of us in the rest of this world wracked by war, economic, crisis, and a future that seems grimmer and grimmer each day.

Product Description
Malaria remains a deadly disease and a serious public health problem worldwide, but especially in developing countries. In Burkina Faso, malaria accounts for about 20 per cent of under-five mortality cases. The fifth Millennium Development Goal of reducing infant mortality by two thirds by the year 2015 can only be achieved if mortality due to malaria is significantly reduced. WHO recommends early detection and treatment among high-risk groups as one of the strategies for reducing the malaria burden. To be effective, this approach requires an early warning system which enables the health care system to be well-prepared and to allocate scarce resources effectively. Unfortunately, such a system is still not available at the appropriate scale.This book therefore attempts to fill the gap by developing a malaria transmission model at a local (district) scale using appropriate environmental factors.A population-based prospective cohort study was conducted in order to establish to what extent weather at the micro-scale level affects malaria transmission among under-five children in a holoendemic area and whether malaria can be predicted at a local scale using weather parameters as a driving force.The study assessed a randomly selected group of children aged between 6 months and 5 years for 12 months over one dry and one rainy season for active parasite detection. In addition, the study noted prospectively exposure variables such as meteorological factors and mosquito bites by land-based data collection.The book then shows how a dynamic model of malaria transmission was developed and tested using the knowledge generated by this comprehensive time series data and the results provided by different analyses. This dynamic model, driven by temperature and rainfall, successfully simulates seasonal vector abundance and also predicts successfully the monthly malaria incidence.The book puts forward an innovative methodology and modelling used in practice to assess local scale malaria risk using environmental factors.The detailed description of this methodology allows scientists to replicate the study elsewhere in different settings. ...

"...a gem of a pamphlet..."
Among the many useful titles on women's liberation published by Pathfinder Press sits a gem of a pamphlet titled Women's Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle. It contains the full text of a speech given by Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary leader of the West African country Burkina Faso (formally Upper Volta) until his assassination in 1987.

Sankara gives his speech to thousands of Burkinabe women gathered to commemorate International Women's Day on March 8, 1987. His speech is bereft of the dogma and the rhetoric normally seen in capitalist politicians and is remarkably direct but sincere.

Sankara devotes a good portion of the speech detailing the specific challenges confronting African women in pursuit of their liberation on the continent. Based on a Marxist understanding of the development of class society he points to this fact as the origin of women's oppression.

Sankara puts the fight of Burkinabe women as part of the struggle for women's liberation world wide. A special strength of the speech is when Sankara stresses how the emancipation of women goes hand in hand with "the struggle for the rehabilitation of our continent".

For supporters of women's rights this pamphlet is a must read.

Africa Women Revolution all together and real
Sankara's speech isn't abstract rhethoric--what we used to call rapology int he days of the civil rights movement. It is practical leadership by a real revolutionist battling reaction, imperialism,and the weight of history, in a battle that he would give his life to.Listen to these words for what they say about the realities of the need to liberate women not just in Africa but throughout the World!

the emancipation of women and the emancipation of Africa
These two issues strike at the heart of many struggles today.Sankara was the leader of a 1983 anti-imperialist revolution in the west African nation of Burkina Faso (known as Upper Volta in colonial times).He is unsparing in his condemnation of those who assert that traditional African values justify the isolation and oppression of women.

He calls on women to rise against the sexism of tribal, neo-colonial and capitalist eras that prevent their equal participation in society.He explains to male Burkinabe workers and peasants the necessity of this in order to fight for the liberation of their nation from colonialism and capitalism. ...

Further Along the Journey
John M. Chernoff's "Exchange Is Not Robbery" continues the adventures of Hawa, the West African bar girl introduced in "Hustling Is Not Stealing", which appeared several years ago. The two volumes are best read continuously, giving the reader the benefit of Chernoff's comprehensive and fascinating introduction to the first book.Hawa's vibrant personality and humor continue, but as she returns to Burkina Faso, the tone darkens somewhat. She moves between Ouagadougou and the village where her sick father lives, making observations about the sexual politics of being an "ashawo" and the economic stresses of the independent lifestyle she has chosen.Hilarious, but awful at the same time, are the stories of her encounters with French men (of whom she has a very low opinion!) and the lengths to which she must go just to survive.Awful but not hilarious at all is the oppressiveness of village life for women. Hawa never becomes bitter, but she expresses a greater sense of what her autonomy has cost her.This volume is also rich with folklore and magic, which blend seamlessly into the harshest realities.This book, like its predecessor, is unique and absolutely wonderful. I was sorry when it ended. ... Read more
