"This original research on the forgotten Libyan genocide, specificially recovers the
hidden history of the fascist Italian concentration camps (1929-1934) through the
oral testimonies of Libyan survivors. This book links the Libyan genocide through
cross-cultural and comparative readings to the colonial roots of the Holocaust and
genocide studies. Between 1929 and 1934, thousand of Libyans lost their lives, directly
murdered and fell victims to Italian deportations and internments. They were forcibly
removed from their homes, marched across vast tracks of deserts and mountains, and
confined behind barbed wire in 16 concentration camps. It is a story that Libyans
have recorded in their Arabic oral history and narratives while remaining hidden and
unexplored in a systematic fashion, and never in the manner that has allowed us to
comprehend and begin to understand the extent of their existence. Based on the survivors'
testimonies, which took over ten years of fieldwork and research to document, this
new and original history of the genocide is a key resource for readers interested
in genocide and holocaust studies, colonial and post-colonial studies and African
and Middle Eastern studies"
