The essay reflects on the relationships between studies on colonialism and those on fascism from the Seventies until today. In particular, it reconstructs how the historiography of colonialism has reflected on the specificity of Italian expansionism of the 1920s and Thirty, and how the results of these studies have contributed to the knowledge and understanding of fascism. The note identifies different phases in the relationship between the two lines of studies: first the historiography of fascism provided the categories for analyzing Fascist colonial policy; later, colonialism emerged as a part of the history of Italy and therefore also of the history of fascism. Thus, studies on expansionism have contributed to studies on the Twenty Years. At one hundred years since the March on Rome, studies on fascism seem to have integrated the colonial dimension within their analyses, in a much more evident and systematic way than at the beginning of the 21st century
Il contributo propone una riflessione sui rapporti tra gli studi sul colonialismo e quelli sul fascismo dagli anni Settanta sino a oggi. In particolare ricostruisce come la storiografia sul colonialismo abbia riflettuto sulla specificità dell’espansionismo italiano degli anni Venti e Trenta, e come gli esiti di questi studi abbiano dato un contributo alla conoscenza e alla comprensione del fascismo. La nota individua diverse fasi nel rapporto tra i due filoni di studi: dapprima la storiografia del fascismo ha fornito le categorie per poter analizzare la politica espansionista del Ventennio; in seguito il colonialismo è emerso definitivamente come una parte integrante della storia d’Italia e quindi anche della storia del fascismo; in quanto tale, gli studi sull’espansionismo hanno contribuito agli studi sul Ventennio. A cento anni dalla marcia su Roma, gli studi sul fascismo sembrano avere integrato la dimensione coloniale all’interno delle loro analisi, in maniera molto più evidente e sistematica rispetto all’inizio del XXI secolo

Abstract
The essay reflects on the relationships between studies on colonialism and those on fascism from the Seventies until today. In particular, it reconstructs how the historiography of colonialism has reflected on the specificity of Italian expansionism of the 1920s and Thirty, and how the results of these studies have contributed to the knowledge and understanding of fascism. The note identifies different phases in the relationship between the two lines of studies: first the historiography of fascism provided the categories for analyzing Fascist colonial policy; later, colonialism emerged as a part of the history of Italy and therefore also of the history of fascism. Thus, studies on expansionism have contributed to studies on the Twenty Years. At one hundred years since the March on Rome, studies on fascism seem to have integrated the colonial dimension within their analyses, in a much more evident and systematic way than at the beginning of the 21st centuryFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
