Ali Ahmida, Ph.D., professor in and founding chair of the A man that was reported missing from Sydney’s south has been located safe and well.…Police are appealing for public assistance to locate a man missing from Sydney’s south. The discovery of living survivors’ narratives and culture became my most significant contribution. Three factors partially explain this ongoing silence among liberal, radical, and conservative scholars of Italian Fascism: Eurocentrism, anticommunism, and the rise of neo-Fascist movements in Italy and Western Europe. With the advent of the fascist regime under Benito Mussolini in 1922 a new brutal policy was designed to conquer the colony and defeat the interior resistance. In short, the book presents a paradigm shift and a new research agenda based on a critical model of Italian Fascism, with clear implications for future studies of the documentation of genocide in general, and the tragedy of modern Libya in particular.I was aware of the significance of poetry to moral and cultural beliefs during the writing of my first book, In October 1911, Italy invaded and occupied the coast of the former Ottoman provinces on Tarabulus al-Gharb. This is a story that has escaped serious reckoning by the perpetrators and has been soft-peddled at best in the West. The project is designed to provide a platform for a broad and inclusive range of Libyan experts and stakeholders to jointly formulate a long-term future vision for the socioeconomic development of Libya and to devise policy options that would enable Libyan decision-makers to realize that vision.“Genocide in Libya: Shar, a Hidden Colonial History” is /Public Release. In short, when I could not find the main files on the case in Rome and only some in Tripoli, I turned to oral history in eastern and central Libya. This awareness led me to pursue two strategies: to travel to eastern and southern Libya in order to find the survivors and listen to their stories about what happened to them and their families, and to read and research the fields of modern genocide and Holocaust studies and comparative fascism to understand how we might resolve these studies. Today there are still scholars who advance the notion of moderate Italian Fascism as Mussolini’s legacy. All trademarks and rights are owned by their respective owners.
However, making sense of the material and overcoming the obstacles required deep reflections and assessment of my early childhood and education in central and southern Libya, my college education in Egypt, and my graduate schooling in the United States. The book links the Libyan genocide through cross-cultural and comparative readings to the colonial roots of Holocaust and genocide studies. Long ago, Franz Fanon argued against universalizing and applying western Freudian psychoanalysis when he examined survivors of colonial trauma in Algeria and Tunisia in 1952. The Italians, so it is the commonly held myth, are not a people capable of genocide, certainly not when compared to their brutal German neighbors. The survivors relied on their Muslim and Arab/African regional culture and values, but the intermittent and the genocide created a new collective identity for them after 1934. The contemporary rise of the Fascist Party in Italy, the New Alliance, lends force to the theory that Italian Fascism helped modernize Italy, especially after it captured fourteen percent of the vote, or one hundred of the 630 seats in the Italian lower house, and joined the government as a legitimate party in 1994.
The Italian-Libyan connection may not be well known in the U.S., but the histories of these two countries are intimately intertwined: from 1911-1943, Libya was an Italian colony.
Capturing the Libyan case required specialized knowledge of local culture, language and collective nonwestern views of suffering and healing. After visiting Italy, in an attempt to locate files on the concentration camps, I came to the realization that it was not simply these sensitive files that were missing, but that there was a collective silence and amnesia which persisted. Between 1929 and 1934, thousands of Libyans lost their lives, directly murdered and victims of Italian deportations and internments that, I argue, amount to genocide. After reading articles written by him on the topic I thought I might give an overview of the genocide to others who might not know about it.
This self-reexamination allowed me to discover and understand the regional culture of the people who were interned, and how they interpreted their experiences and reactions during and after the years of internment. We don't put up a paywall – we believe in free access to information of public interest. The case of Libya is ignored within recent books on forgotten genocide, such as the remarkable book by Ben Kiernan, Not only is there a lack of awareness about the Libyan genocide, but there are also counter-political forces actively trying to produce the myth of Italian Fascism as a moderate and lesser evil than the Nazi genocidal state. This mass killing and destruction of people and culture was the result of a 20-year anti-colonial resistance and represented, by all measures, genocide based on a racist colonial plan to crush local resistance and settle poor Italian peasants in the colony. Above all, I had an opportunity to meet and listen to hundreds of ordinary Libyans and learn about their passions, views of colonial history, and humanity.Introduction: Thinking About Forgotten Libyan Genocide
