Sten presents Pain et liberté pour le people!: Burkina Faso’s Underground Communist Party PCRV, and its Public Presence in the Anti-Imperialist Struggle
Please note the venue!
This seminar focuses on long-time research on popular struggle
and fight against impunity amongst leftist militants and human
rights activists in Burkina Faso. The research is particularly geared
towards political developments after the fall of President Blaise
Compaoré in October 2014. Methodologically, I combine
participant observation in street marches, meetings, sit-ins, etc.,
with the analysis of pamphlets, declarations, and tracts. I explore
the public presence of the underground Parti communiste
révolutionnaire voltaïque (PCRV) in the anti-imperialist struggles in
and after 2014, so as to argue that the party is continuously
present, while being absent, in the Burkinabe public sphere.
Most Welcome!
