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. 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. 410 0$aAfrika-Studiecentrum Series$v25. 606 $aGovernment, Resistance to$zNiger 606 $aDecolonization$zNiger 606 $aPolitical parties$zNiger 607 $aNiger$xHistory$xAutonomy and independence movements 615 0$aGovernment, Resistance to 615 0$aDecolonization 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a966.26 700 $aWalraven$b Klaas van$f1958-$01106649 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786133003321 996 $aThe yearning for relief$93786753 997 $aUNINA
