'The post-WWI Paris Treaties established a framework for the exploration of both minority rights and colonial emancipation. How Italy's Fascist administration interacted with these notions in its borderlands - the recently acquired South Tyrol (Alto Adige) and Trentino, as well as the ongoing conflict in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica (later Libya) - is the subject of this study, whose conclusions significantly contribute to discussions of nation, empire, assimilation, racism, and citizenship. Recommended.' R. T. Ingoglia, Choice 'The post-WWI Paris Treaties established a framework for the exploration of both minority rights and colonial emancipation.

Recommended.' R. T. Ingoglia, Choice 'Pergher's book presents a convincing argument for the innovative nature of Fascist settlement policy and constitutes a valuable contribution to the growing scholarly interest in daily life under the Fascist regime. Pergher skilfully demonstrates the negotiation between the expectations of settlers and administrators, and presents a nuanced and complex analysis of Fascism's policies on the borderlands.' Paul Baxa, European History Quarterly 'The book is one of the best books on Italian Fascism published in recent decades, and its impact will certainly be felt far beyond the study of modern Italy.' Michael Ebner, The Journal of Modern History '... the book is a valuable addition to the study of Italian Fascism.' New York Military Affairs Symposium Review 'While of undeniable significance for scholars of modern Italy, Mussolini's Nation-Empire also makes a critical contribution to ongoing rethinking of sovereignty in fields such as political science, philosophy, and anthropology, as well as history.' Pamela Ballinger, Modern Italy '... this work undoubtedly breaks important new ground in the rich and emerging field of Italian colonial and postcolonial studies.'
