Confronting Silence and Cover-Up of the Colonial Genocide in Libya
This short article reflects the author's thinking on the ethics of silence and the recovery of the history of the concentration camps, based on fifteen years of research among the survivors’ oral and folk histories. It challenges the ethics of the dominant colonial historiographical paradigm in Middle East and North Africa scholarship, which is based on the myth that Italian Fascism did not encompass acts of genocide and mass murder and was, ther…

When the Subaltern Speak: Memory of Genocide in Colonial Libya 1929 to 1933
This essay challenges Eurocentric views of the 'benign' nature of Italian Fascism by exploring the genocide in Libya between 1929 and 1933.

In addition to detailing the brutality of the regime's treatment of the Libyan population, it also draws on oral history and folk poetry as a means of establishing the ongoing …
State and Class Formation and Collaboration in Colonial Libya
In early nineteenth-century Libya, townsmen, peasants, and tribesmen identified their interests according to kinship, regional, and religious ideologies rather than class affiliation. Although distinct classes existed, class formation was hindered by the self-sufficiency of seminomads and small peasantry, and the instability of the central state and private property. By 1911, when Italian rule began, the effects of eighty years of Ottoman state f…
