Under Italian Fascism, African-Italian mulattoes and white Italians living in Egypt posed a particular threat to the pursuit of a homogenous national identity. This book examines novels and films of the period, showing that their attempts at stigmatization were self-undermining, forcing audiences to reassess their collective identity.

“This study contributes substantially to critical texts on Italian colonialism, Fascism, and postcolonial Italy, and to studies of racial identity in Italy by considering the role of hybrid individuals and the way in which they directly challenged … . The valuable, and timely, historical lesson contained in this book—particularly in light of the current migration crisis in the Mediterranean—is twofold: Italian national and racial identities are contested and fluid, and borders and boundaries are not fixed.” (Meriel Tulante, gender/sexuality/italy, gendersexualityitaly.com, Issue 05, 2018)
