The Sawaba movement and its rebellion in Niger are a totally
neglected subject.
Klaas
van Walraven traces this story from a
social history perspective, placing an entire generation of activists,
removed from the official record, back into mainstream
Nigerien
history. Representing a genuine social movement, Sawaba formed
Niger s first autonomous government under French suzerainty.
Overthrown by the
Gaullists
and persecuted, it attempted a
comeback with a guerrilla campaign
(1960-1966),
which ended
in failure and led to the movement s destruction.
The Yearning for Relief
-
based on numerous interviews with
survivors and a vast range of archival sources, including France s
secret service
-
is essential reading for the reappraisal of Niger s
history and the role of militant nationalist movements in the
decolonisation of French West Africa.
An excellent book, well written, based on exceptional sources
...
The author plunges the reader into a turbulent and rich political
history that makes Niger such a remarkable country in the politics
of francophone West Africa
...
Klaas
van Walraven restores to history
reminiscences, which are omnipresent but which were silenced. He
returns to
Nigériens a
hidden aspect of their past
...
The photographs
of the actors and symbolic sites give this book a unique significance .
-
Prof. Dr. Mahaman Tidjani
Alou,
Université
Abdou Moumouni,
Niamey
This book will be of great importance for the
réévaluation
of the
history of Niger and of
militant
nationalist movements in Africa .
