- Title
A Food Utopia? Italian Colonial Visions of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, 1911-13.
- Authors
Rosenboim, Or
- Abstract
The article explores the intersection of food and political ideas within Italy's pre-Fascist colonial empire, particularly during its expansion into Tripolitania and Cyrenaica (modern-day Libya) from 1911 to 1913. It investigates how Italian journalists used rhetoric centered on the concept of food abundance to construct utopian visions of imperialism, portraying Libya as a promised land of agricultural plenty.
