On this day in 1983 Marxist revolutionary and pan-Africanist Thomas Sankara became president of Burkina Faso formerly Upper Volta in a popularly supported coup. Inspired by the example of the revolutionary armed in China and Cuba under Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro, he believed that the armed forces could act as a progressive socialist force that could help improve the lives of the people. Sankara launched extensive social, ecological, and economic programs as well as land reform. Setting a personal example, he cut his salary and sold off the government fleet of Mercedes while maintaining an austere lifestyle. He was also known for his strong anti-imperialist foreign policy challenging western imperialism in Africa, mainly France.
However, Sankara's presidency came to a tragic end in 1987 when he was murdered during a coup organized by Baise Compaoré who had become Sankara's closest friend after they had met in the military and who had been involved in the 1983 revolution. Read on.

این هفته میخوام بخرمش. باید کتاب خیلی جالبی باشه
What Is a People? seeks to reclaim "people" as an effective political concept by revisiting its uses and abuses over time. Alain Badiou surveys the idea of a people as a productive force of solidarity and emancipation and as a negative tool of categorization and suppression. Pierre Bourdieu follows with a sociolinguistic analysis of "popular" and its transformation of democracy, beliefs, songs, and even soups into phenomena with outsized importance. Judith Butler calls out those who use freedom of assembly to create an exclusionary "we," while Georges Didi-Huberman addresses the problem of summing up a people with totalizing narratives. Sadri Khiari applies an activist's perspective to the racial hierarchies inherent in ethnic and national categories, and Jacques Rancière comments on the futility of isolating theories of populism when, as these thinkers have shown, the idea of a "people" is too diffuse to support them. By engaging this topic linguistically, ethnically, culturally, and ontologically, the voices in this volume help separate "people" from its fraught associations to pursue more vital formulations. Together with Democracy in What State?, in which Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaid, Wendy Brown, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Rancière, Kristin Ross, and Slavoj Žižek discuss the nature and purpose of democracy today, What Is a People? expands an essential exploration of political action and being in our time.
ناگهان متوجه شد که آن چه که افسوسش را میخورد، نه گذشته از دست رفته، که آینده از دست رفته بود. نه آن چه که به وقوع نپیوسته، که آنچه که به وقوع نخواهد پیوست.
