The Ethiopian War as Portrayed in the Italian Fascist and Antifascist Press in Tunisia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This chapter interrogates the confrontation between fascist and antifascist elements within the Italian community in French Tunisia through an analysis of the attitude of the local Italian language press to the ‘Ethiopian Question’. Through the daily newspaper <italic>L’Unione</italic> and the weekly <italic>L’Alba</italic>, Italian fascist propaganda focused its efforts on downplaying the impact of the ‘notorious’ Laval–Mussolini agreements of January 1935 and cast the conquest of Ethiopia as a prelude to more important conquests. It was challenged by the antifascist front (anarchists, republicans, communists and Giustizia e Libertà) in Tunisia who, in the pages of the weekly magazine <italic>Domani</italic> and the clandestine newspaper <italic>Il Liberatore</italic>, accused the regime of being interested more in the profits of industrial capitalism than in the interests of Italian citizens resident in the country.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
