- Funded by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship, this is the first cultural history of Italian colonialism’s effects on ideas of empire and anti-imperialism in literature, print culture, and film. Drawing on archives located in Rome, New York, London, and Oxford, in English and Italian, it offers a unique holistic account of Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, comparing Italian histories (fascism and Communism), Pan-Africanist responses (George Padmore, Claude McKay, and CLR James), and British reportage (Sylvia Pankhurst). The book also reads postwar Italian literature and film through anticolonialism and antifascism, thus extending the remit of postcolonial studies beyond the Anglophone empire.
