The First World War from Tripoli to Addis Ababa (1911-1924)
For a long time now it has been common understanding that Africa played only a marginal role in the First World War. Its reduced theatre of operations appeared irrelevant to the strategic balance of the major powers. This volume is a contribution to the growing body of historical literature that explores the global and social history of the First World War. It questions the supposedly marginal role of Africa during the Great War with a special fo…

Colonialism and the Construction of National Identities
The starting point of this paper is that, in spite of the common agreement on the relevance of Italian rule on the political and social shaping of Eritrea, little investigation has been carried out to analyse the political, juridical and economical, nature of the colonial system in Eritrea and its impact on Eritrean society. \nThe discussion focuses on the structure and strategies of the colonial state which is identified as a privileged instrume…

From Warriors to Urban Dwellers
In the process of urbanisation experienced by Eritrea, between 1890 and 1941, under Italian colonialism a major role was played by the military component. Military priorities were crucial in determining lines of development in the early colonial urban planning in Eritrea as the criteria of military defensibility, rather than economic or functional priorities, had significantly influenced the main patterns of early colonial settlements in the regi…
Church-state relations in colonial Eritrea

One level focuses on the theoretical production of the missionary and colonial authorities, dealing with procedural and strategic aspects of their presence in the African territory. A second level, probably the more intriguing, focuses on the complex interaction in the colonial territory between the theore…
