School for Advanced Research Scholar Colloquium:
Prisoners of Our Dreams: Eritrean Diaspora Politics in ‘Red’ Italy
Fiori Berhane
SAR 2024–25 Wenner-Gren Fellow, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Southern California
This is a multi-sited ethnography of refugee political activism in Europe. Dr. Berhane demonstrates that Eritrean migrations to Italy have been inextricably enfolded in larger questions over the meaning of the colonial past, the transformation from state socialism to neoliberalism globally, and racial nationalism.
