{"product_id":"the-yearning-for-relief-klaas-van-walraven-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 \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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaas Van Walraven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900424574X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004245747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 2.00d","brand":"Klaas Van Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066403205375,"sku":"9789004245747","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5abb7a39-922c-4ae5-ae35-9de9f55a8e14.jpg?v=1768678301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-yearning-for-relief-klaas-van-walraven-9789004245747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
