Specifically, it focuses on the racializing strategies employed by a series of short children’s stories (Collezione Marzocco per la Gioventù Araba del Littorio), published in 1939 and targeted for a colonial audience. After
a brief sketch of the role and functions of colonial literature, on the one hand, and of Gioventù Araba del Littorio, on the other, the article will dwell into the racist ideological standpoints put forward in these twenty short stories. It will then be argued that the pedagogical strategies there endorsed opened up to potential fractures within the Imperial racism of the late Thirties.

It aims at highlighting the degree of interconnection between race-based and genderbased narratives in the Italian cultural experience of the Overseas. The main focus is on the colonial novel as an archive of models of masculinity and whiteness; not a coherent archive, but a complex and contradictory one. After a brief overview of the editorial history of the phenomenon of colonial novel in general, I will argue that the four models of virility that can be found in these novels are utterly incompatible and, at the same time, that they are built around a coherent core (the undoubted supremacy of the white man) and deployed through the same narrative structure (a racialized set of narrative functions).

Specifically, it looks at two novels of the late 1920s-Enrico Cappellina's Un canto nella notte. Romanzo coloniale and Guido Milanesi's La sperduta di Allahwith the aim of highlighting the continuities and discontinuities between the racist models they endorse. A critical close reading of the texts reveals the degree of interconnection between segregationist and inclusivist interpretations of the cross-racial colonial encounter in the first half of the ventennio. With this perspective, the 1936 imperial turning point, even though critical on the institutional level, appears less so in the cultural field of racist production.
