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.

Euro-Librarianship focuses on strategies for working toward cooperation between libraries throughout Europe and the United States to provide the best access and information to research materials as possible. Chapters by several authors in their original languages (with English abstracts) give this book a unique international appeal. Common difficulties such as fiscal constraints and rising book and serial prices are discussed. Stressing enhanced communication and shared responsibilities, this new volume helps bring libraries of all countries closer to the resource sharing capabilities that allowa scholars and researchers much wider access to information than is available today. In this timely new book, many of the papers that were presented at the Second Western European Specialists (WESS) International Conference are brought together to be read and studied by everyone.

I contributi, infatti, pur nella loro estrema varietà, pongono in evidenza alcune questioni comuni, a partire dalla centralità che il brigantaggio ha rappresentato nella storia italiana, dal periodo rivoluzionario francese al processo di unificazione nazionale, finendo con l’intrecciarsi tanto alla “questione meridionale” quanto alla “questione criminale” che avrebbero caratterizzato il dibattito pubblico e politico dei primi decenni post-unitari. Fa, poi, da corollario l’indagine sulla “costruzione” politica dell’avversario e l’analisi degli strumenti giuridici messi in atto per contrastare il dissenso, prevenendolo e/o reprimendolo.
