This article sheds light on the fragility and contradictions of the colonial and fascist discourse on race and gender in the former Italian colonies in East Africa (1890‐1941). It shows the complexities of the interactions occurring among social actors within the cracks of the colonial discourse, despite enforcement of racial laws, prohibition and punishment. The analysis is supported by the examination of some propaganda material and court cases related to the criminalisation of interracial relationships. Finally, the last part of the paper challenges the flattening of Black women’s agency and advocates for the acknowledgment of their agency and the recognition of their role in history within contexts of oppression and discrimination
