Propaganda and literature were forced to work within the contradictions inherent in Fascism’s construction of national identity, and often the messages that literature aimed to convey escaped its initial purposes, unintentionally revealing the tenuousness of its arguments. Proposed as an instrument for the spread of Fascist ideology, the colonial novel abandoned many of the usual expedients of the previous literary tradition, in which Africa had served as a place of escape from reality. Rather than represent an exotic, liberating space in which travelers pursued sensory and sensual adventure, Africa was transformed into a colonial territory where the new, strong values of the Italian spirit could be exported (Tomasello 1984, 103).
