This book presents an historical and sociological account of the
Italian mafia-type organisation known as the 'ndrangheta. It draws
together diverse perspectives on the various 'ndrangheta clans and
their behavioural models, focusing specifically on their
organisational skills, their bonds with Calabrian society and
Calabrian communities around the world, their mobility, and their
characterisation as poly-crime organisations. The authors
demonstrate that 'ndrangheta clans have an innovative way of being
and doing mafia work through a dense network of relationships both
in the 'upperworld' and in the 'underworld', a particularly acute
sense of business, a reputation built on the protection of blood
and family ties, and, last but not least, a symbiotic relationship
and camouflage within Calabrian society. By focusing on both the
structures and the activities of the clans and with findings based
on judicial documents, this book explores why the 'ndrangheta is
today labeled as "the most powerful Italian mafia". It will be of
great interest to upper-level students and scholars of organised
crime and sociology.
