In studying food in short-lived Italian East Africa, Gastrofascism and Empire breaks significant new ground in our understanding of the workings of empire in the circulation of bodies, foodways, and global practices of dependence and colonialism, as well as the decolonizing practices of indigenous food and African anticolonial resistance. In East Africa, Fascist Italy brought older imperial models of global food to a hypermodern level in all its political, technoscientific, environmental, and nutritional aspects. This larger story of food sovereignty—entered in racist, mass settler colonialism—is dramatically different from the plantation and trade colonialisms of other empires and has never been comprehensively told.
Using an original decolonizing food studies approach and an unprecedented variety of unexplored Ethiopian and Italian sources, Cinotto describes the different meanings of different foods for different people at different points of the imperial food chain. Exploring the subjectivities, agencies and emotions of Ethiopian and Italian men and women, it goes beyond simple colonizer/colonized binaries and offers a nuanced picture of lived, multisensorial experiences with food and empire.
Simone Cinotto is Associate Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, Italy. He was Visiting Professor at Indiana University, USA from 2017-2018 and at SOAS, University of London, UK from 2014-2019. He is the author of several books including The Italian American Table: Food, Family, and Community in New York City (2013) and with Daniel Bender, Food Mobilities: Making World Cuisines (2023).
