Until Italian unification, vast areas of Apulia were an uninhabited
sheep walk. In the late nineteenth century this frontier area was
settled and agro-business established. In the quasi-colonial
context of the South of Italy, the relations between landowners and
farm workers were characterized by extreme forms of oppression and
brutality. This book is a study of the world the landlords made and
of the harsh structures of profit, tenure, and climate they faced.
It is also a powerful investigation of the appallingly grim
conditions in the teeming agricultural centres of the region and a
vivid history of the struggle by the farm workers to win the
ordinary decencies of life - clothes, clean water, and bread. In
the process, the labourers formed a potent anarcho-syndicalist
movement whose history the book relates from the first general
strikes in 1901 to the restoration of the landlords' power by
fascist terror in 1922.
