Reviews

Ali Abdullatif Ahmida's volume on the Libyan genocide is a masterpiece of oral history. This narrative recaptures the full texture of a great but little known atrocity. The prose and the poetry of folk memory as well as the crosscurrents of regional variation are gripping and unforgettable. A people's suffering have been truly honoured here. - James C. Scott, Yale University

The prose and the poetry of folk memory as well as the crosscurrents of regional variation are gripping and unforgettable. A people's suffering have been truly honoured here. - James C. Scott, Yale University Based on oral, archival and published documentation, Ali Abdullatif Ahmida provides a damning condemnation of Italian colonialism in Libya and of the scholarship that so far has overlooked the scope and significance of the genocidal violence which enabled it. A genuine contribution to the literature on Libya, on colonialism and on studies of genocide. - Mahmood Mamdani, Columbia University
