Africa e Mediterraneo n. 97 (2/22)

Issue 97 of Africa e Mediterraneo opens up a space for scholars and experts to share their research on topics relating to Africa and migration, without thematic limitations. At a time of strong changes both on the continent and in Africa’s relationship with the world and the Mediterranean countries in particular, the issue identifies three foci of interest: the Italian colonial past and the present history of the Horn of Africa, the frontiers of migration, and what we have called the “African laboratory,” which brings together topical topics such as Covid-19 and relations with China.
