Samuel Agbamu

Restorations of Empire in Africa

Ancient Rome and Modern Italy's African Colonies

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first full-length study of how Italian colonialism in Africa used the history of Roman imperialism on the continent to legitimise and promote its own imperial endeavours. Agbamu looks at a broad range of cultural documents to examine how the discourse of colonialism as 'the return of Rome' to land rightfully Italian was disseminated.
