Roberta Pergher transforms our understanding of Fascist rule.
Examining Fascist Italy's efforts to control the antipodes of its
realm - the regions annexed in northern Italy after the First World
War, and Italy's North African colonies - she shows how the regime
struggled to imagine and implement Italian sovereignty over alien
territories and peoples. Contrary to the claims of existing
scholarship, Fascist settlement policy in these regions was not
designed to solve an overpopulation problem, but to bolster Italian
claims to rule in an era that prized self-determination and no
longer saw imperial claims as self-evident. Professor Pergher
explores the character and impact of Fascist settlement policy and
the degree to which ordinary Italians participated in and
challenged the regime's efforts to Italianize contested territory.
Employing models and concepts from the historiography of empire,
she shows how Fascist Italy rethought the boundaries between
national and imperial rule.
