{"product_id":"the-yearning-for-relief-9789004245747","title":"The Yearning for Relief","description":"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 Nigérien 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Yearning for Relief\u003c\/i\u003e – 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.","brand":"Klaas van Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48547905011963,"sku":"9789004245747","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_b24ace65-4e6a-4e37-b9a0-dc88664dd900.jpg?v=1778022514","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-yearning-for-relief-9789004245747","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
