Winner of 2011 Mondello Prize. Scego structures his autobiography through a comparative
mapping of Rome and Mogadiscio. The narration stages the contradictions inherent to the
remotion of Italian colonial past and of contemporary racism. The author proposes a model of
transcultural identity, capable to hybrid Italian and Somali culture, maintaining the
consciousness of the power relationships that structure contemporary creolization.
