Staging Memory: Myth, Symbolism and Identity in Postcolonial Italy and Libya

By Stefania Del Monte

Memory in postcolonial Italy and Libya has been widely used, reinterpreted and staged by political powers and the media. This book investigates the roots of myth, colonial amnesia and censorship in postwar Italy, as well as Colonel Gaddafi's deliberate use of rituals, symbols, and the colonial past to shape national identity in Libya.
