That is a very important point that the Italo-Ethiopian war has been overshadowed by the Spanish Civil War therefore obscuring the role that race and colonialism played in fascism. The earlier point that Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, considered a liberal at the time, energetically supported the Italian government is quite sobering. I look forward to reading Mengiste’s book and glad that more visibility is being brought to the issue.
I hope the interview continues with the part she ends with. Thank you!
