Description

Explore the deep connections between Italy and Somalia through this scholarly examination of colonial and postcolonial history. The Somali Within investigates the cultural encounter between these two nations, starting from the end of the 19th century through the UN mandate period and into the modern era of the Somali diaspora in Italy. This book provides a critical evaluation of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's concept of 'minor literature.' By applying postcolonial literary studies, the text analyzes the complex processes of language, race, and identity within Italian literature. It addresses a significant gap in academic research by focusing on a cultural history that has often been neglected. Ideal for students and researchers in language studies, postcolonial theory, and Mediterranean history, this Routledge publication offers a detailed look at how migration and colonial legacies shape contemporary literary landscapes. It serves as a necessary resource for understanding the linguistic and social dynamics of the Somali diaspora within the Italian context.
