Modern Architecture and its Representation in Colonial Eritrea offers a critical assessment of architecture and urbanism constructed in Eritrea during the Italian colonial period spanning from 1890-1941. Drawing together imperial projects, modernist aesthetics, and fascist motives, the book examines how the merger of these three significant influences yielded a complex built environment that served to emulate, if not redefine, Italian colonial pursuits. As Italy's colonia primogenita or "first born colony", Eritrea and its capital, Asmara, not only bore witness to the emergence of politicized interiors and international expositions, it also became a vehicle that polarized issues of race and gender. Exploring discourses of modernity in Africa, this book moves between histories of architecture, urbanism and media to describe how Eritrea and Asmara became a crucial fulcrum for Italy's ill-fated pursuits in Ethiopia and other neighboring countries. Consequently, modern architecture remained a tool for inscribing Eritrean subjectivities while redefining visual technologies that affected constructions of the domestic interior. Modern Architecture and its Representation in Colonial Eritrea illustrates how architecture in Asmara reshaped the creation and reception of Italian East Africa.
