November 15, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Katrina Elizabeth Anderson Yeaw All Rights Reserved ii WOMEN, RESISTANCE AND THE CREATION OF NEW GENDERED FRONTIERS IN THE MAKING OF MODERN LIBYA, 1890-1980 Katrina Elizabeth Anderson Yeaw, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Judith E. Tucker, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Women, Resistance and the Creation of New Gendered Frontiers in the Making of Modern Libya, 1890-1980 examines the gendered transformation in the territory that became Libya from the late Ottoman period until after independence. Questioning the official version of Libyan nationalism that understood colonialism as a masculine, and at times violent, interaction between male Italian colonists, soldiers, and administrators and colonized men, I demonstrate the multi-faceted ways in which Libyan women interacted with the modernizing Ottoman, Italian and later British states, whether through the introduction of new forms of education, the policing of community boundaries, or through the military suppression of armed resistance. I found that European colonial governance dismantled existing local institutions including the Ottoman education system. Consequently, Italian policies undermined previous Ottoman attempts at modernizing reforms while distorting many of the existing social structures. My dissertation utilizes a variety of Arabic and Italian sources from archives in Italy, the US, and the UK.

  • Ottoman Mobilization and Resistance in the Italo-Turkish War
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Anti-Colonial Empire: Ottoman Mobilization and Resistance in the Italo-Turkish War, 1911-1912 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jonathan Claymore McCollum 2018 © Copyright by Jonathan Claymore McCollum 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Anti-Colonial Empire: Ottoman Mobilization and Resistance in the Italo-Turkish War, 1911-1912 by Jonathan Claymore McCollum Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor James L. Gelvin, Chair The Italo-Turkish War (1911-1912), now remembered primarily as Italy’s war for what is now Libya, swelled from a localized colonial invasion into a significant Mediterranean conflict and a global cause célèbre that attracted support and aid for the embattled Ottoman regime from diverse locations both inside and outside the borders of the empire. This dissertation examines the means by which the Ottoman Empire erected an asymmetric defense of its last North African provinces to preserve its territory and empire from Italian occupation and annexation. Drawing on sources in Ottoman Turkish, Arabic, Greek, and Judeo-Spanish, this study demonstrates how ii the Sublime Porte and the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) initially deployed a rhetoric of unity, constitutionalism, and international law to protect the empire from the Italian invasion. Due to the efficacy of Italian diplomacy, the Ottomans, unable to enlist Great Power support for the preservation of imperial territory, developed a defensive strategy for its North African territories that relied primarily on humanitarianism and volunteerism. This dissertation, therefore, investigates the vital contribution of pan-Islamism and the broad appeal of a loose ideology of Muslim anticolonialism in the empire’s attempts to bolster its forces with international aid and volunteers.

  • 2 the Province of Tripoli and Its Significance for German Interests (1870–1884)
    2 The Province of Tripoli and its Significance for German Interests (1870–1884) This chapter highlights the geographical, strategic and economic significance of the province of Tripoli to Germany from 1870 to 1884. Like many other parts of the Arab world the province of Tripoli was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire during this period. Tripoli integrated Ottoman Empire when Suleiman I (1494–1566) was the sultan and Sinan Pasha (1506–1596) ruled this new region of the Empire in 1551,1 expelling the Spanish from Tripoli.2 The period from 1551 to 1711 is known as a ‘direct Ottoman rule’3 and was followed by a dynasty called al-Kāramanlī between 1711 and 1835.4 This time is seen as independent or more autonomous from the central power in Istanbul.5 The Ottomans elimi- nated this dynasty and restored their direct control over the province in 1835. The following period, known as “the second Ottoman period”6 lasted until 1911, when the province was occupied by Italy. As the 19th century approached its final quarter, rule in Libya was increasingly determined by world powers such as Britain, France and after 1871, Germany, meaning it was probably determined 1 Pasha is a Turkish title given to honor some governors with military ranks in the Ottoman Empire and it was given to the governors of the Ottoman provinces, Ṣabān, Suhail, al-Muʿjam al-mausuʿi li-l-mṣṭalahat al-ʿūthmānīyyā al-tārīkhiyya, al-Riyyad, 2000, p. 52. 2 Ibn Ghalbūn al-Ṭarābulsī, Abū ʿAbd al-llāh Moḥammad bin Khalīl, al-Tadhkār fī man malak Ṭarābulis wa mā kān bihā min Akhbār, ṣaḥḥaḥahu al-Ṭāhir Aḥmed al-Zāwī, Dār al-madār al- islāmī, Bayrūt, 2004, p.

This paper delineates the contours of the geographical imaginaries of Italian and Ottoman imperial nationalisms and how participants and pundits of the conflict incorporated Libya into their national spaces. Examining the writings and publications of influential nationalist leaders Enrico Corradini and Enver Pasha, it compares the idealization of territory and the material limits of national imaginaries in response to European colonialism, the hardening of borders, and the emergence of a world system of nation-states. 1. Introduction rnest Gellner’s enduring definition of nationalism – that it is «a political principle, which holds that the political and national unit should be congruent» – though admirable for its terse precision, fails to capture a E most significant and contentious aspect of nationalism and the state- building projects in which it is implicated, namely that nations and political units must ultimately reside in a specific geographic space1.
