- Title
Fascist Colonialism: The Archaeology of Italian Outposts in Western Ethiopia (1936-41).
- Authors
González-Ruibal, Alfredo
- Abstract
Despite the relevance of material culture in the politics and culture of Italian Fascism (1922-45), this phenomenon has rarely been approached from an archaeological point of view. In this article, I argue that archaeology can provide new insights into the study of this particular version of totalitarianism. I will show the connections that an archaeological study of fascism has with some concerns of historical archaeology, such as colonialism, power, conflict, and race. For this, three Italian military sites in Ethiopia will be examined.
