This timely volume is an anthology of writings in Italian which
examine the origins, nature and culture of the Sicilian mafia.
Separate chapters are devoted to the culture from which the mafia
emerged, the economic and business activities in which it is now
engaged, its relations with politics and politicians, as well as
its structure and historical evolution. There are portraits of
prominent mafiosi as well as of the people and organisations that
have struggled against mafia crime. The individual pieces come from
the most diverse sources, including newspapers, historical and
sociological works. There is an introduction in English as well as
a full vocabulary and a glossary of terms associated with the
mafia. From these composite elements a complete and rounded picture
of the mafia is constructed, making it an invaluable text for those
interested in Italian culture.
