Identity and Contemporary Representations: The Heritage of Alberto Pollera's Monograph, I Baria e i Kunama

The Italian colonial system has had different impacts on the diverse local contexts of inland Eritrea. As has already been shown, colonial practices, as well as the ways they have been received, have not always been the same, in their forms and their meanings, for the different groups inhabiting a multiethnic and multilingual area such as Eritrea. Different relationships and representations, whether under British administration, in the wake of the bloody events of 1948–1952, under the federation, under the Derg, during the struggle for liberation, or finally today, in the troubled construction of the independent state, have conditioned subsequent history. Indeed, one of the major problems that has arisen in the construction of the independent state is that of compatibility between the process of Eritrean national unification and the respect for linguistic diversity that has been institutionally recognized.1 The question is how peripheral communities experience regional systems and take part in the process of building a modern African state.
