Sankara and the Burkinabé Revolution: Charisma and Power, Local and External Dimensions
Captain Thomas Sankara, Comrade President of Burkina Faso, was assassinated on 15 October 1987, allegedly in accordance with the wishes of Captain Blaise Compaoré, Major Jean-Baptiste Lingani, and Captain Henri Zongo. These three officers, said to have feared for their lives, had ordered the arrest of Sankara in order to avoid plunging their country into a blood-bath. The radio broadcast announcing the execution referred to Sankara as a 'renegade…

Peoples and Cultures of Africa
Serfs, Peasants, and Socialists: A. Former Serf Village in the Republic of Guinea
This is a worthwhile, if not important, book; more so, perhaps, for the questions addressed than the information provided, although the work cannot be seriously faulted for the latter. While the research centers on the Fulbe (Fulani, Peul) of the Fouta-Djallon, its theoretical concerns have wide import. These include the nature of traditional African systems of institutionalized social inequality, the dynamics of change under different colonial a…

Political Conflict ana Revolution in an African Town
The emerging patterns of life in contemporary Africa are most apparent in the often competing social and political groupings which have developed as basically rural populations have attempted to deal with the complexities of modern life. During the colonial period, these new groupings-whether rural or urban-were under the control of a dominant administration and seldom came into overt conflict. However, this is not now the case in most African to…
The 'Paradox' of Rural Leadership: A Comment
This admirable analysis of the role of traditional leaders among the Nyamwezi in Tanzania throws light on some of the most intriguing problems of government in contemporary Africa. Recent reports from African societies confirm Dr Miller's finding that the traditional rulers are not withering away, but on the contrary have survived and are helping their people to adapt to the modern state. This would not be surprising had not many of the revolutio…

Strangers in West African Societies
Opening ParagraphThe difficulties attending the attempt of the new African polities to weld their disparate elements into viable nation-states have been popularly attributed to 'tribalism'. Certainly, in some cases groups indigenous to a region did come into conflict as new states arose there, but a hard look at tribal relations in modern Africa shows these relations to be of a different order from those of pre-European times. One element in the …
Labour Migration and its Relationship to Socio-Cultural Change in Mossi Society
Opening ParagraphLabour migration is an outstanding feature in most contemporary African societies. It not only touches on nearly all aspects of the lives of the peoples involved, but is often the cause as well as the result of important social and cultural changes. It therefore holds a special interest for students of such changes. Here they can observe the movements of vast numbers of people, and the concomitant problems which arise with the ex…

But it is questionable whether one is justified in extrapolating from individual psychology to the study of human society and cultural systems.
