Final Essay on Libyan Genocide

We were asked to finish up the class by choosing a question from a list and answering it using evidence from readings and class discussions. I chose to answer the following questions: What is Ahmida’s critique of the Eurocentric approach to Italian Fascism, and genocide? What does he mean by the myth of moderate Italian Fascism? How would view the representation of the Libyan genocide in the movie Lion of the Desert? Why should we study the Libyan case today? Below, my final essay is linked.
