Burkina Faso, known as Upper Volta until its independence from France in 1960, and locally called the "land of the upright people," is a medium-sized land-locked country with no less than six neighbors, some of which periodically get into trouble... which makes it reasonably strategic in some ways. While it has not done as poorly as some other African states, its economic has certainly not prospered and many Burkinabe go abroad to earn a living. As for politics, it is another case of stability without democracy, even if there are periodic elections. Still, this is better than not even having stability. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Burkina Faso covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, maps, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso faces large social and physical infrastructure gaps, a deteriorating security situation, and unease among the rapidly-expanding population about economic prospects. Growth has been robust, averaging more than 6 percent over the past two years. Activity has been supported by expansionary fiscal policy, including from a boost to capital spending in 2017. Revenue has not increased as expected and the wage bill has been rising.

"En proposant de réfléchir sur des modes d'articulation, des modalités de désarticulations et des conditions de possibles réarticulations, l'ouvrage jette un double regard sur les objets d'étude en question et les différentes théories des sciences du langage : comment ces objets d'étude sont-ils composés (la construction étant un jeu de déconstruction et de reconstruction) et comment les théories des sciences du langage (dans un dialogue scientifique) s'interpénètrent-elles et pénètrent-elles leurs objets ?" Ouvrage scientifique portant sur les sciences du langage enseignées par Louis Millogo à Ouagadougou, les différents travaux menés par ses anciens étudiants proposent une réflexion autour de la culture africaine et son rapport à l'expression, écrite ou orale. Littérature, cinéma, théâtre, musique, différents domaines de l'art sont abordés et mis en relation avec le langage pour mettre en valeur la richesse et la diversité de cette culture. Ces recherches soulignent les particularités des sociétés africaines et les rapports qu'elles entretiennent entre elles comme autant de désarticulations et réarticulations du langage."--Page 4 of cover.
