| Publisher Description: This book, part two of Giuseppe Finaldi's sweeping account of Italian colonialism studies its history from the turn of the 20th century to the early 1930s. The book engages with a period of huge social, political and cultural change resulting in a new dynamism on the African and expansionist front. The period saw an economic leap forward, an extension of Italians' political engagement - through new forces such as popular socialism, social Catholicism and the 'new' nationalism - as well as a huge surge in the number of people leaving Italy for new lives in the Americas while expansionism made its mark in Libya, the horn of Africa and elsewhere. |
