Plus ça change: Trade unions, the military and politics in Burkina Faso, 1966 and 2014
This article examines the first and the most recent coups d’état in Burkina Faso, focusing on the pivotal role played by trade unions in both January 1966 and October 2014. Both events reveal the potency of trade unionism in the country, and both illustrate the political bind in which the country finds itself. The political history of Burkina Faso represents an ever-shifting, intractable passion play between a political elite with a strong tenden…

Trade unions and ‘responsible participation’: Dahomey, 1958–1975
The trade union movement in sub-Saharan Africa during the struggle against colonial rule in the 1950s has long commanded the attention of historians.

Far less is known about the fate of these trade unions in the nine newly independent countries that emerged from …

Labor History symposium: Gerald Friedman, Reigniting the Labor Movement
This article is less of a review of the above work than an analysis and discussion of some of its key arguments. Friedman’s book has two salient characteristics. First, the author has chosen not to restrict himself to a purely comparative approach to trade union decline: instead of examining the contrasting ways in which this phenomenon has played out in a number of countries, he treats it as a transnational occurrence which transcends national c…
