The nature of traditional societies in Mediterranean countries and
the effect on those societies brought about in the twentieth
century, have long been debated; but in general these debates has
started from an assumption of the relatively homogenous nature of
traditional peasant society. In this book Pino Arlacchi demolishes
that assumption by demonstrating that within the Italian region of
Calabria there existed not one but a range of 'traditional'
societies. This book will be of interest to a wide range of
sociologists, anthropologists, historians and development
economists concerned with the nature of traditional societies and
the impact of modernisation on them. Written in a vivd style and
offering fascinating insights into the people and history of
Calabria, the book will also appeal to general readers interested
in the Italian south and the mafia.
