New French Pathfinder titles sell well
(Pathfinder Around the World column)
 
BY DEREK JEFFERS  
PARIS—Pathfinder supporters from France and Belgium made a special effort to visit bookstores in France to introduce three new French-language editions of Pathfinder titles—Women’s Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle and We Are the Heirs of the World’s Revolutions, both by Thomas Sankara, and The First and Second Declarations of Havana.

Of the 29 stores visited during May and June, 24 have placed orders thus far, for a total of 191 books and pamphlets. These include 48 copies of L’émancipation des femmes et la lutte de libération de l’Afrique, 38 of Les première et deuxième déclarations de la Havane, and 37 of Nous sommes les héritiers des révolutions du monde.

Supporters found the success of earlier sales of Thomas Sankara Speaks—490 of which had been sold in France as of June 28—gave Pathfinder a significant boost with the latest titles. Many stores that initially ordered Thomas Sankara Speaks have since re-ordered it, sometimes several times.
