The excerpt of the review below of the French edition of Thomas Sankara Speaks appeared in the December 2007 issue of Le Monde diplomatique, a French-language monthly with worldwide circulation. Translation by Pathfinder Press. “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 Click here for printer-friendly version of complete review
