She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2006 with a B.A. in both Psychology and Italian Studies. During the 2004-2005 academic year she studied abroad at the Università di Bologna, (Italy) where she completed work in Psychology, Anthropology, and Contemporary Italian Literature. She has taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced Italian language courses at Brown University, Colgate Universty, and is currently teaching at Rhode Island College. Her academic interests include Postcolonial Italian Literature, Ethnography, Migratory Culture and Citizenship, Transnationalism, Hybridity, and Photography. iv Preface My 2004-2005 academic year abroad in Italy, a country I adore, had a profound impact on my future professional endeavors. It all started a week after my arrival to Bologna when I enrolled at Fitness First, a gym on via San Felice. It at Fitness First that I first met Agazit, a charismatic Ethiopian-Italian Marketing student and her childhood friend, Ilaria, an Italian Economics student obsessed with Brazilian culture. That same night, after our workout, and upon Ilaria’s request, the three of us headed down to Florence to dance samba. After bonding over a night of dancing, we became inseparable friends. Hanging out with Agazit and Ilaria on a regular basis immersed me immediately into the great splendor of the Bolognese lifestyle, but it also exposed me to the harsh racism and discrimination women of color face in Italy. It was thanks to Agazit that I first learned about Italian colonialism, and specifically of the Ethiopian resistance. At the time, I could not believe that I had studied Italian language and culture for three years, and until that moment, I had not learned anything about the Italian colonial era. Agazit's wonderful stories from the people of her country, “persone dal suo paese,” as she would utter in Italian, captivated me to the extent that I took it upon myself to dig into this buried chapter of Italian history. My dissertation Experimental/ Experiential Writing: Unheard Stories from Afro-Italian Diaspora is my effort to understanding this disavowed chapter of Italian history. I dedicate this dissertation to the loving memory of my grandfather Francisco Valencia, a generous man who always treated everyone with kindness and respect. v Acknowledgements This project came to fruition thanks to the unconditional love and support of all the inspirational people in my life. I would like to start with acknowledging my role model Professor Tricia Rose for empowering and motivating me to stay in academia when the journey turned bleak.

Their novels are all situated within the genre of postcolonial Italian literature, a fairly recent body of works that initially began to flourish in Italy alongside the first significant migratory waves to the country in the 1990s. While people originating from former Italian colonies (e.g., Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Libya) were already residing in Italian cities since the early 1960s, most fleeing dictatorships or civil wars, it was with the greater migratory fluxes of the 1990s that a specific literature by first generation and second generation immigrants developed. Initially referred to as “italophone literature” and later as “migrant literature,” it can be considered part of postcolonial literature. However, not all migrant authors residing in Italy are necessarily postcolonial. The multiple points of view and different histories of postcolonial authors are often subsumed under the category of “migrant literature” effacing the differences between them, as well as their diverse gender and racial perspectives. Indeed, one of this dissertation’s central points-of-departure is that the cultural production of postcolonial Italian authors significantly differs from the postcolonial literary tradition developed within other former European colonies. As Cristina Lombardi-Diop reminds us: Contrary to other postcolonial literary traditions, italophone literature did not develop during colonial times. The lack of state-run schooling system at secondary level in Italy’s former colonies of the Horn of Africa (Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia) and Libya has prevented the formation of a 1 postcolonial literary tradition. Unlike their French counterparts, Italian colonial policies were anti- assimilationist and discouraged Italianisation.1 Italy engaged in colonial pursuits in Eritrea (1890), Somalia (1908), Libya (1912), Dodecanese Islands (1923), Ethiopia (1936), and Albania (1939). For a variety of ideological reasons, the history of Italian colonialism was nearly omitted from Italy’s national history and school curricula and colonialism as such was almost never considered from a critical point of view in relation to Italian

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

  • Magical Creatures in Isadora Moon
    The Magical Creatures of Isadora Moon In the Isadora Moon stories, Isadora’s mum is a fairy and her dad is a vampire. This means that, even though Isadora lives in the human world, she has adventures with lots of fantastical creatures. Harriet Muncaster writes and draws the Isadora Moon books. Writers like Harriet often look at stories and legends from the past to get ideas for their own stories. What are some of the legends that Harriet looked at when telling the story of Isadora Moon, and what has she changed to make her stories as unique as Isadora herself? Fairies In the modern day, we picture fairies as tiny human-like creatures with wings like those of dragonflies or butterflies. However, up until the Victorian age (1837- 1901), the word ‘fairy’ meant any magical creature or events and comes from the Old French word faerie, which means ‘enchanted’. Goblins, pixies, dwarves and nymphs were all called ‘fairies’. These different types of fairies usually did not have wings, and were sometimes human- sized instead of tiny. They could also be good or bad, either helping or tricking people. Luckily, Isadora’s mum, Countess Cordelia Moon, is a good fairy, who likes baking magical cakes, planting colourful flowers, and spending time in nature. Like most modern fairies, she has wings, magical powers, and a close connection with nature, but unlike fairies in some stories, she is human-size. Isadora’s mum can fly using her fairy wings and can use her magic wand to bring toys to life, make plants grow anywhere, and change the appearance of different objects, such as Isadora’s tent.

  • Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa
    UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE Simulation on Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa This simulation, while focused around the Ethiopia-Eritrea border conflict, is not an attempt to resolve that conflict: the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) already has a peace plan on the table to which the two parties in conflict have essentially agreed. Rather, participants are asked, in their roles as representatives of OAU member states, to devise a blueprint for preventing the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict from spreading into neighboring countries and consuming the region in even greater violence. The conflict, a great concern particularly for Somalia and Sudan where civil wars have raged for years, has thrown regional alliances into confusion and is increasingly putting pressure on humanitarian NGOs and other regional parties to contain the conflict. The wars in the Horn of Africa have caused untold death and misery over the past few decades. Simulation participants are asked as well to deal with the many refugees and internally displaced persons in the Horn of Africa, a humanitarian crisis that strains the economies – and the political relations - of the countries in the region. In their roles as OAU representatives, participants in this intricate simulation witness first-hand the tremendous challenge of trying to obtain consensus among multiple actors with often competing agendas on the tools of conflict prevention.

Mukhw Somalia has enjoyed a unique role in the history of African nationalism. As the only country in Africa whose population is vinually homogeneous, most speak a common language, all are Muslims and claim to be relaled to a common (or several common) distant ancestors. One might therefore expect thai its independence movement would have been more unified than those ofother African territories where tribal and regional differences came to be reflected in political party groupings after World War Il. Also Somalia was the only country to be partitioned seveml times: once at the end of the 19th century during the scramble for Africa and again in the 1940's following the break-up of the lIalian East African Empire. This would seem to have been another factor that unified Somalis in a sense ofcommon nationalism. However, the drive for Somali independence gave rise to not just one but several political parties. Were these panies based on regional or "tribal" differences of a particular Somali son? Did they have differtnt views ofSomali nationalism and self-government? These questions are difficuh to answer, not only because source materials are limited but also because one Somali party, the Somali Youth League (SYL), came to dominate the political scene in the 1950's and was the majority party at the time of Somali independence in 1960.

    Map 1 CHAPTER II – SUBSTANTIVE INTRODUCTION CHAPTER II – SUBSTANTIVE INTRODUCTION 2.1 The present Decision will be developed in eight Chapters. 2.2 Following this substantive introduction, the Commission will, in Chapter III, present its understanding of its task and of the law to be applied to it. 2.3 In Chapters IV, V and VI, the Commission will examine the border in the three sectors – central, western and eastern – corresponding to the portions initially defined by the three Treaties of 1900, 1902 and 1908 respectively. 2.4 Chapter VII will consider the question of the boundary within the relevant rivers. 2.5 Lastly, Chapter VIII will contain the Dispositif of the present Decision. A. BACKGROUND 2.6 There is little need to present any detailed account of the history of the Parties or their relations outside the events that are immediately relevant to the issues before the Commission and which will be treated at appropriate points in this Decision. However, a few introductory historical notes are in order. 2.7 Ethiopia has for long been an independent member of the international community. Apart from the period following its annexation by Italy in 1935 (see below), there has been no relevant discontinuity or change in its status. The position of Eritrea is different. Prior to the 1880s, large parts of it had been subject to Ottoman and Egyptian authority. During that decade, Italy began to assert a colonial presence in the region, first at the Red Sea port of Assab and in 1885 at Massawa. Subsequent Italian attempts to expand its control inland were successfully resisted by Ethiopian forces.
