SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Confronting Silence and Invisibility: The Forgotten Genocide in Libya
DESCRIPTION:Professor Ali Abdullatif Ahmida presents a powerful subaltern narrative of genocide in Libya\, grounded in survivor testimonies\, oral history\, and archival research. His recent book uncovers a suppressed chapter of Italian Fascism\, challenging Eurocentric scholarship and official memory in Libya\, Italy\, and the U.S. Through multilingual fieldwork across three continents\, he redefines how colonial violence and its silences are studied. This work offers a new paradigm for understanding genocide\, memory\, and modern North African history.\n\nAli Abdullatif Ahmida\, a Libyan-born scholar and founding chair of Political Science at the University of New England\, focuses on power\, resistance\, and colonial violence in North Africa. He is the author of The Making of Modern Libya and the award-winning Genocide in Libya: Shar\, A Hidden Colonial History (2021). His work bridges political theory\, historical sociology\, and postcolonial studies.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
