Asha es una niña adoptada a los cuatro años en Etiopía que, tras un período de adaptación perfectamente normal y grandes éxitos académicos y deportivos, cae en una profunda depresión en la adolescencia, manifestando con toda su crudeza el conocido como síndrome de apego. A partir de ese momento, se abre para ella y sus padres adoptivos un largo viaje en el que se entremezclan los afectos y los rechazos, la lucha constante, los sueños y la realidad disociada, como un puzle desordenado que se refleja también con toda su crudeza y sinceridad en los escritos de la protagonista. Las fases de la luna son el hilo conductor de esta historia apacible y brillante, desde una gozosa luna nueva, hasta que irrumpe el eclipse en la vida familiar de la adolescente, tiñendo de sombras su identidad que, como el astro, va menguando hasta su renacer gozoso en luna de sol, tras un viaje de ensueño con sus padres al país que la vio nacer. Todo ello contado en primera persona por Alfredo, el padre de Asha, desde una perspectiva pedagógica, pero también de sentimientos y de aventura, de bucear en las aguas entre turbias y apasionantes de la psicología, con el trasfondo del país africano y sus maravillas. Una obra que pretende entretener y transmitir luz y esperanza a las personas que sufren por su identidad

In early October 1935 and without any declaration of war some two hundred thousand men, comprising soldiers and airmen of the Italian armed forces, Fascist ‘Blackshirt’ Militia, Eritrean ascari and Somali dubats, invaded the independent state of Ethiopia (Abyssinia). It was an operation entirely of choice, the chooser being Il Duce: Benito Mussolini. The resultant conflict is often described as a colonial war. while it was certainly launched with the intent of turning Ethiopia into an Italian possession, it was in fact a war of aggression against an independent, sovereign, state with membership of the League of Nations. A state that had, according to one of its nineteenth-century rulers, been ‘for fourteen centuries a Christian island in a sea of pagans’. The swiftness of the Italian victory resulted from their possession and ruthless use of technology; most particularly aircraft, mustard gas, and motorisation/mechanisation. Since they were fighting an enemy who possessed none of these things, then they were able to wage, indeed inaugurate, what the prominent military theorist JFC Fuller dubbed ‘totalitarian warfare’ or, as it became known a few years later, total war. This, he opined, was the Fascist, the scientific, way of making war. In his considered view, the Fascist Army that waged it was ‘a scientific military instrument.’ This book examines that campaign in military and political terms.

In February 1937, following an abortive attack by a handful of insurgents on Mussolini's High Command in Italian-occupied Ethiopia, 'repression squads' of armed Blackshirts and Fascist civilians were unleashed on the defenseless residents of Addis Ababa. In three terror-filled days and nights of arson, murder and looting, thousands of innocent and unsuspecting men, women and children were roasted alive, shot, bludgeoned, stabbed to death, or blown to pieces with hand-grenades. Meanwhile the notorious Viceroy Rodolfo Graziani, infamous for his atrocities in Libya, took the opportunity to add to the carnage by eliminating the intelligentsia and nobility of the ancient Ethiopian empire in a pogrom that swept across the land. In a richly illustrated and ground-breaking work backed up by meticulous and scholarly research, Ian Campbell reconstructs and analyses one of Fascist Italy's least known atrocities, which he estimates eliminated 19-20 per cent of the capital's population. He exposes the hitherto little known cover-up conducted at the highest levels of the British government, which enabled the facts of one of the most hideous civilian massacres of all time to be concealed, and the perpetrators to walk free.

This innovative collection investigates the ways in which television programs around the world have highlighted modernization and encouraged nation-building. It is an attempt to catalogue and better understand the contours of this phenomenon, which took place as television developed and expanded in different parts of the world between the 1950s and the 1990s. From popular science and adult education shows to news magazines and television plays, few themes so thoroughly penetrated the small screen for so many years as modernization, with television producers and state authorities using television programs to bolster modernization efforts. Contributors analyze the hallmarks of these media efforts: nation-building, consumerism and consumer culture, the education and integration of citizens, and the glorification of the nation’s technological achievements.

Farouk, Yazer, Ahmed y Omar los cuatro protagonistas principales de esta aventura, cada uno desde su perspectiva, intentan hacer ver al lector que, aunque todo se rige por status, nadie es más que nadie y que, según las circunstancias que se den, siempre habrá un momento en el que necesitemos del apoyo o la ayuda de la persona en la que menos pensamos. Confianza, honor, respeto, paciencia, valentía, ilusión, curiosidad y sabiduría son algunas de las emociones que se describen en este relato. A veces, por qué no, también algo de lo contrario. El amor y el miedo se hacen presentes en algún trazo de la historia. ¿Qué sería de una aventura sin una pizca de amor? Las parejas que se forman a lo largo del texto, en la medida de lo posible, se encargan de manifestar este sentimiento escrito en mayúsculas. Como si se tratase de un cuento de las mil y una noches, Farouk vive su buena vida, rodeado de buena gente y generando buena vibración, pues, aunque sea el amo y señor del califato, todo aquel que deambula por el poblado siente que realmente ocupa el lugar que le corresponde, ni mejor ni peor que el del vecino, simplemente el suyo, de ahí la bienaventuranza y la alegría que acompañan a sus gentes, así sin más, respetando hasta el más pequeño de los seres que corretean por sus arenas. El Califa deja entrever que si en la vida hay algo que llame nuestra atención, siempre y cuando la situación se ponga de cara, podemos tomar la decisión de aventurarnos a ir en su busca, porque si creemos en ello, seguro que lo creamos. Hay veces que las cosas no salen como estaba previsto, pero por eso tenemos el libre albedrío de retirarnos a tiempo y esperar a una oportunidad más propicia. Farouk se encarga de hacernos saber que la paciencia es la verdadera madre de la ciencia.

This pioneering book offers the first account of the work of the photographers, both official and freelance, who contributed to the forging of Mussolini's image. It departs from the practice of using photographs purely for illustration and places them instead at the centre of the analysis. Throughout the 1930s photographs of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini were chosen with much care by the regime. They were deployed to highlight those physical traits - the piercing eyes, protruding jaw, shaved head - that were meant to evoke the Duce's strength, determination and innate sense of leadership in the mind of his contemporaries. The chapters in this volume explore the photographic image in the socio-political context of the time and shows how it was a significant contributor to the development of Italian mass culture between the two world wars.

Enriched with an introduction by David Forgacs, this book explores the complex relationship between photography and power in its various manifestations in Italian history throughout the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How did the Italian state employ the medium of photography as an instrument of dominance? In which ways has photography been used as a critical medium to resist hegemonic discourses? Taking into account published and unpublished images from professional photographers such as Letizia Battaglia, Tano D’Amico and Mario Cresci and non-professional photographers, artists, photo-reporters, and war soldiers, as well as social scientists and criminologists, such as Cesare Lombroso, this book unfolds the operations of power that lay behind the apparent objectivity of the photographic frame. Some essays in this volume discuss the use of photography in national and colonial discourses, as well as its employment in constructing images of power from war propaganda and fascism to public personas like Benito Mussolini and Silvio Berlusconi. Other contributions examine the ways in which the medium has been employed to create counter-hegemonic discourses, from the Resistance and the years of lead up to the contemporary times. Among the contributors to this volume are major international scholars on Italian photography such as Gabriele D’Autilia, Nicoletta Leonardi and Pasquale Verdicchio.

Las biografías de algunos de los corresponsales más destacados que cubrieron la Guerra Civil española. La Guerra Civil española supuso la consagración del corresponsal de guerra. Durante casi tres años los ojos del mundo se fijaron en España, y lo más granado de la prensa internacional acudió a dar fe de lo que ocurría. Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, John Dos Passos, Mijaíl Koltsov, W.H. Auden, Arthur Koestler, Cyril Connolly, George Orwell, Kim Philby y muchos otros pasaron por España y escribieron lo que vieron, o al menos lo que pudieron. En condiciones precarias, afrontando graves riesgos e inmersos en el frenesí del combate, a todos ellos les transformó la guerra. Paul Preston presenta en Idealistas bajo las balas el retrato de un colectivo legendario, deteniéndose en las biografías de algunos de los corresponsales más destacados: Louis Fischer, Mijaíl Koltsov, George Steer, Jay Allen; y de aquellos que mantuvieron encendida la llama de la República: Herbert Southworth y Henry Buckley. El resultado es un homenaje a todos los que acudieron a observar los acontecimientos y pronto se vieron atrapados por la fascinación de uno de los conflictos decisivos del siglo XX. Reseña: «No puedo sino elogiarlo. Preston deshace los hilos enredados de las mentiras y nos presenta una imagen lúcida y una lectura amena.» Nicholas Shakespeare, Daily Telegraph
