Workers and Politicians in West Africa George R Martens

This review of the colonial era, with emphasis on the international level, provides a comprehensive picture of the general trends and the social, economic and political environment which shaped trade unionism in Francophone Africa. A historical look at the dynamics of the pre-independence period in AOF, this book contrasts the often static events taking place today as West Africa's search for a way out of their current dilemma: where does a nation go now?
