This volume focuses on a longing projected mostly toward the past
(mal d’Afrique) alongside a longing toward the future
(afro-optimism), and the different manifestations, shifting
meanings, and potential points of contact of these two stances. The
volume introduces a new perspective into the discussion of Somalia
in Italian Studies. This is an intersectional work of Italian
Studies scholarship, whose contributors help re-imagine the field
and its relationship to Somalia with their diverse backgrounds,
unique insights, and global breadth. The book integrates the
current scholarship on Somalia with the most recent theoretical
studies on nostalgia, visionary affect, colonial ruins, silenced
archives, melancholy, ecology, food and diaspora, classical studies
and performativity, storytelling, afro-fabulation and queer
literature, media and humanitarianism, and afro optimism. The book
will serve as an invaluable reference in multidisciplinary programs
such as Global History, Africana Studies, Diaspora Studies,
Migration Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Integrity and Global
Studies, as well as Italian Studies and various core courses.
Because of its interdisciplinary discussion of Somalia, the volume
will draw the interest of a large readership among scholars, and
non-scholars, from different disciplines and geographic
affiliation.
