The past two decades have witnessed increasing opposition to mafia
influence and activities in Italy. Community organizations such as
Libera, founded in 1995, and Addiopizzo, originating in 2004,
exemplify how Italian society has tried to come together to promote
antimafia activities. The societal opposition to mafia influence
continues to grow and the Internet has become a frontline in the
battle between the two groups. The Italian Antimafia, New Media,
and the Culture of Legality is the first book to examine the online
battles between the mafia and its growing cohort of opponents.
While the mafia's supporters have used Internet technologies to
expand its power, profits, and violence, antimafia citizens employ
the same technologies to recreate Italian civil society. The
contributors to this volume are experts in diverse fields and offer
interdisciplinary studies of antimafia activism and legality in
online journalism, Twitter, YouTube, digital storytelling, blogs,
music, and photography. These examinations enable readers to
understand the grassroots Italian cultural revolution, which makes
individuals responsible for promoting justice, freedom, and
dignity.
