Abstract: | The 7th of June 1919 is an important date in the history of our islands; it reminds us of the hard life our forefathers led during some particular periods of their colonial experience. The 164-year long era of British colonialism in Malta was not an easy one; there were particular moments when our forebears understood that, sadly enough, the adage ‘might is right’ is one to be fearful of. Many publications in both Maltese and English, focusing on the events of the Sette Giugno, have appeared over the last century. Last year, our islands commemorated the centenary of this fateful event. Inspired by this milestone in our history, Xagħra historian and researcher Dr Aaron Attard-Hili published a book about the subject. [excerpt] |
