This first volume engages with a period of huge social, political and cultural change in Italy resulting in a new dynamism on the African and expansionist front. Offering a sweeping account of events and a vast array of characters, it tells the story of a nation bent on conquest in China, Africa and the Mediterranean, of indigenous resistance in Libya and East Africa, of defeat and of victory. It recounts how Italy dreamed and pursued an empire, and how reality was never far from tripping up this, the least of the European Great Powers. From the ramifications of the defeat at Adowa in 1896 through the rule of Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti to the attack on the Ottoman Empire in 1911 and beyond, the history of Italian colonialism is followed here up to the looming of the First World War.   This volume is of great value to students and scholars alike interested in Italian, European, African and colonial history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51708820979985,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51708821012753,"sku":"NGR9780815394297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655037382929,"sku":"NLS9780815394297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0815394292.jpg?v=1762249778"},{"product_id":"history-of-italian-colonialism-1914-1919-book-giuseppe-finaldi-9781041152477","title":"A History of Italian Colonialism 1914-1919","description":"This book examines Italy’s colonial history from the outbreak of the First World War to the first stirrings of Fascism in 1919.

It deals with the factors that drove Italy to search for territory in Africa in the 1870s and 1880s and describes the reasoning behind the trajectories adopted and objectives pursued.   The events that brought Italy to open conflict with the Ethiopian Empire culminating in the Italian defeat at Adowa in March 1896 are central to the book. However its scope is much broader, as it considers the establishment of Italian power in Eritrea as well as Somalia before and after the defeat. By telling its history, it explains why Italy emerged irresolute and humiliated in this, its first thrust into Africa, yet nonetheless determined to pursue expansion in the future. The seeds for the conquest of Libya in 1911 and Ethiopia in 1935 had been sown.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52147472662801,"sku":"NLS9781138330016","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138330016.jpg?v=1757600627"},{"product_id":"italian-national-identity-in-the-scramble-for-africa-book-giuseppe-finaldi-9783039118038","title":"Italian National Identity in the Scramble for Africa","description":"Italy’s First African War (1880-1896) pitted a young and ambitious European nation against the ancient Empire of Ethiopia. The Least of Europe’s Great Powers rashly assailed Africa’s most formidable military power. The outcome was humiliating defeat for Italy and the survival, uniquely for any African nation in the years of the European Scramble for that continent, of Ethiopian independence.   Notwithstanding Italy’s disastrous first experience in the colonial fray, this book argues that the impact of the war went well beyond the battlefields of the Ethiopian highlands and reached into the minds of the Italian people at home.   Through a detailed and exhaustive study of Italian popular culture, this book asks how far the First African War impacted on the Italian nation-building project and how far Italians were themselves changed by undergoing the experience of war and defeat in East Africa.   Finaldi argues, for the first time in historiography on the subject, that there was substantial support for and awareness of Italy’s military campaign and that ‘Empire’, as has come to be regarded as fundamental in the histories of other European countries, needs to be brought firmly into the mainstream of Italian national history.   This book is an essential contribution to debates on the relationship between European national identity and culture and imperialism in the late 19th century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820470726929,"sku":"NLS9783039118038","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783039118038.jpg?v=1764330026"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-giuseppe-finaldi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
