    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

  • La Ricostruzione Dell'immaginario Violato in Tre Scrittrici Italofone Del Corno D'africa

A cierta altura, un bisabuelo encuentra a su bisnieto. El bisabuelo está completamente chocho (sus pensamiemto tiene nel color del agua) y sonríe con la misma beatífica sonrisa de su bisnieto recién nacido. El bisabuelo es feliz porque ha perdido la memoria que tenía. El bisnieto es feliz porque no tiene, todavía, ninguna memoria. He aquí, pienso, la felicidad perfecta. Yo no la quiero Eduardo Galeano Parte Prima Subire l’immaginario. Ricostruire l’immaginario. Il fenomeno e le problematiche Introduzione Molte persone in Italia sono persuase, in assoluta buona fede, della positività dell’operato italiano in Africa. Italiani brava gente dunque. Italiani costruttori di ponti, strade, infrastrutture, palazzi. Italiani civilizzatori. Italiani edificatori di pace, benessere, modernità. Ma questa visione delineata corrisponde alla realtà dei fatti? Gli italiani sono stati davvero brava gente in Africa? Nella dichiarazioni spesso vengono anche azzardati parallelismi paradossali tra la situazione attuale e quella passata delle ex colonie italiane. Si ribadisce con una certa veemenza che Libia, Etiopia, Somalia ed Eritrea tutto sommato stavano meglio quando stavano peggio, cioè dominati e colonizzati dagli italiani.

The Antelopes of Eastern Algeria. Zoological Society. 72 Gazella leptoceros 1. TAXONOMY AND NOMENCLATURE 1.1. Taxonomy. Gazella leptoceros belongs to the tribe Antilopini, sub-family Antilopinae, family Bovidae, which comprises about twenty species in genera Gazella , Antilope , Procapra , Antidorcas , Litocranius , and Ammodorcas (O’Reagan, 1984; Corbet and Hill, 1986; Groves, 1988). Genus Gazella comprises one extinct species, and from 10 to 15 surviving species, usually divided into three sub-genera, Nanger , Gazella, and Trachelocele (Corbet, 1978; O’Reagan, 1984; Corbet and Hill, 1986; Groves, 1988). Gazella leptoceros is either included in the sub-genus Gazella (Groves, 1969; O’Reagan, 1984), or considered as forming, along with the Asian gazelle Gazella subgutturosa , the sub-genus Trachelocele (Groves, 1988). The Gazella leptoceros. Sidi Toui National Parks. Tunisia. species comprises two sub-species, Gazella leptoceros leptoceros of © Renata Molcanova the Western Desert of Lower Egypt and northeastern Libya, and Gazella leptoceros loderi of the western and middle Sahara. These two forms seem geographically isolated from each other and ecologically distinct, so that they must, from a conservation biology point of view, be treated separately. 1.2. Nomenclature. 1.2.1.

  • Libya Is Located in the North of Africa Between Longitude 9O ‐ 25O East and Latitude 18O ‐ 33O North
    Libya is located in the north of Africa between longitude 9o ‐ 25o east and latitude 18o ‐ 33o north. It extends from the Mediterranean coast in the north to the Sahara desert in the south, with a total surface area of approximately 1.750 million km2.Itis bounded on the east by Egypt, on the west by Tunisia and Algeria and on the south by Chad, Niger and Sudan. According to 2006 census, the total population of Libya amounted to about 5.658 millions (5.298 Libyans and 0.360 non‐Libyans) The population density varies widely from one area to another. About 70% of Libyan population lives in the coastal cities, where more than 45% live in Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrātah and AzZawayah, with a population density of about 45 person per km2. This density does not exceed 0.3 person per km2 in the interior regions. Location map Rainfall in Libya is characterized by its inconsistency as a result of the contrary effects of the Sahara from one side and the Mediterranean from the other. Intensive thunderstorms of short duration are fairly common. Abou t 96% of Libyan ldland surface receives annual raifllinfall of less than 100 mm. The heaviest rainfall occurs in the northeastern region (Jabal al Akhdar) from 300 to 600mm and in the northwestern region (Jabal Nafūsah and Jifārah plain) from 250 to 370mm. There is no perennial surface runoff in Libya, a part of the precipitation falling on the Jabal Nafūsah and Jabal al Akhdar cause a surface runoff trough many seasonal wadis. Wadis in a desert environment generally are dry during the whole year except after sudden heavy rainfall which often resulting a flash flood.

  • Dissertation Isotope and Noble Gas Study of Three
    DISSERTATION ISOTOPE AND NOBLE GAS STUDY OF THREE AQUIFERS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST LIBYA Submitted by Mohamed S. E. Al Faitouri Department of Geosciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: William Sanford Michael Ronayne Steven Fassnacht Reagan Waskom Copyright by Mohamed S. E. Al Faitouri 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ISOTOPE AND NOBLE GAS STUDY OF THREE AQUIFERS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST LIBYA Libya suffers from a shortage in water resources due to its arid climate. The annual precipitation in Libya is less than 200 mm in the narrow coastal plain, while the southern part of the country receives less than 1mm. On the other hand, Libya has large resources of good quality groundwater distributed in six basin systems beneath the Sahara. In 1983, the Libyan government established the Great Man-Made River Authority (GMRA) in order to transport 6.5 million cubic meters a day of this groundwater to the coastal cities, where over 90% of the population lives. This large water extraction of one million cubic meters per day (or greater) from each wellfield has the potential to greatly stress the water resources in these areas. This study focuses on three GMRA wellfields in two sedimentary basins (Sirt and Al Kufra) in central and southeast Libya. The Sarir wellfield is located within the Sirt basin and consists of 126 production wells; the Tazerbo wellfield in the Al Kufra basin has 108 wells; and the proposed Al Kufra wellfield is also in the Al Kufra Basin and will have 300 production wells.
