From Clans to Co-ops explores the social, political, and economic
relations that enable the constitution of cooperatives operating on
land confiscated from mafiosi in Sicily, a project that the state
hails as arguably the greatest symbolic victory over the mafia in
Italian history. Rakopoulos’s ethnographic focus is on access to
resources, divisions of labor, ideologies of community and food,
and the material changes that cooperatives bring to people’s
lives in terms of kinship, work and land management. The book
contributes to broader debates about cooperativism, how labor might
be salvaged from market fundamentalism, and to emergent discourses
about the ‘human’ economy.
