Opis

A volume which focuses on Italian colonialism and its physical manifestations in architectural and urban forms to present new perspectives on colonialism, modernity, nationhood, colonial and Italian architecture and planning and material and symbolic cultures. The book looks at attitudes towards races, religions and cultures by Italian colonizers, exploring cultural dimensions of Italian expansionism and offers a particularly unique focus on a concrete dimension which no other literature has done to date.
