| Abstract | "This book looks at Burkina Faso's revolution (1983-1987), led by Thomas Sankara, as a window into a critical transition period in modern African history between the closing of the era of the fight for national liberation and the dawning of new forces around neoliberal capitalist globalization. It focuses on the regime's cultural politics and specifically the importance the revolutionaries attached to the cinema as a mechanism for social change"-- Provided by publisher. |
