Colonialism was intertwined with the history of Italy from the nineteenth century to the Second World War, and also cast its shadow in the Republican period, up to the present day. Starting from the most recent historiographical debate, the volume reconstructs for the first time systematically and synthetically the history of Italian expansionism in Africa in the liberal age and during the twenty years of fascism. It also retraces the events of its legacies and implications in Italy in the second half of the twentieth century and the 21st century. The book addresses not only the political projects, diplomatic relations, military operations, the violence of the occupation, the racist laws told, but also the movements of people to and from Africa and how schools, books, films, science, and monuments have made the expansion possible, helping to build imaginaries that still influence the lives of millions of women and men today.
Il colonialismo si è intrecciato con la storia d’Italia dall’Ottocento alla Seconda guerra mondiale e ha proiettato la sua ombra anche nel periodo repubblicano, fino ai giorni nostri. Muovendo dal più recente dibattito storiografico, il volume ricostruisce per la prima volta in maniera sistematica e sintetica la storia dell’espansionismo italiano in Africa in età liberale e durante il ventennio fascista e ripercorre le vicende delle sue eredità e implicazioni nell’Italia del secondo Novecento e del XXI secolo. Si raccontano non solo i progetti politici, le relazioni diplomatiche, le operazioni militari, le violenze dell’occupazione, le leggi razziste, ma anche i movimenti di persone da e per l’Africa e il modo con cui la scuola, i libri, i film, la scienza e i monumenti hanno reso possibile l’espansione, contribuendo a costruire immaginari che influenzano ancora oggi le vite di milioni di donne e di uomini.

Abstract
Colonialism was intertwined with the history of Italy from the nineteenth century to the Second World War, and also cast its shadow in the Republican period, up to the present day. Starting from the most recent historiographical debate, the volume reconstructs for the first time systematically and synthetically the history of Italian expansionism in Africa in the liberal age and during the twenty years of fascism. It also retraces the events of its legacies and implications in Italy in the second half of the twentieth century and the 21st century. The book addresses not only the political projects, diplomatic relations, military operations, the violence of the occupation, the racist laws told, but also the movements of people to and from Africa and how schools, books, films, science, and monuments have made the expansion possible, helping to build imaginaries that still influence the lives of millions of women and men today.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
