Jean-Paul Alata (17 August 1924 - September 1978) was a Frenchman who was a political prisoner in Camp Boiro, Guinea from January 1971 to July 1975, later writing a book about his experience which was banned by the French government. ==Early career== Alata was born on 17 August 1924 in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. His father was of Corsican origin, but he considered himself a "white African".〔 His wife and mother of his children, Tènin, was a Malinké. Alata was a member of the French Communist Party. He served in Senegal for ten years before being dismissed for political reasons and moving to Guinea in 1955. At that time he was in sympathy with the socialist views expressed by Ahmed Sékou Touré, who was to become the first President after Guinea gained independence from France in 1958.〔 He was one of the signatories of an appeal to "French Guineans" to vote against membership of a French West African union proposed by General Charles de Gaulle. He was appointed Director-General of economic and financial affairs for the Presidency. In the early years of the republic he accepted the authoritarian nature of the regime as necessary during the evolution of a society divided into many ethnic groups towards socialism. Later he fell out of sympathy with Touré, leaving office in 1967 but remaining in his adopted country.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean-Paul Alata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
