Civil Status of Aboriginal Population of Italian Libya (1911-1943)

Abstract

The article examines evolution of the Libyans’ civil status in the colonial period. The author examines suppression of the Libyan resistance by the Italian troops and Italy’s attempts to involve the Libyans into cooperation with the colonial administration. Influence of the fascist putsch in Rome on the policy of cooperation with the Libyans is identified. It is shown how with rapprochement of Italy and Nazi Germany the ideology of racism (previously non-distinctive for Italy) established itself as an official one, which resulted in further deprivation of the Libyans’ rights. Comparative analysis of Italy’s policy in other colonies is conducted.
