Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thorough if somewhat dry, this scholarly history traces the rise of the Mafia in its ancestral homeland. Freelance writer Fentress locates the roots of the Mafia in the 19th-century rebellions that occurred when the Sicily attempted to break free from Naples's control. He shows that the local officials relied on 'an extensive network of spies and informers' to exert control over an unruly population. Nor did this situation change after Italy unified in the 1860s. With the help of police archives, trial records and contemporary accounts, the pace picks up in the book's livelier second half. Fentress describes how these spies and informers, along with some of the revolutionaries who fought Italy's national liberation movement, later became the soldiers of the Mafia. 'Revolution creates its own rules', the author writes, and in the 19th century, a no-man's land developed in Sicily, full of relations that were 'somewhere between the illegal and the illicit'. In a poor society with a tradition for violence, the Mafia was able to prosper despite sporadic attempts to eradicate it. Indeed, the government's crackdowns only reinforced the already popular notion that the Mafia is all-powerful. After refuting the idea that the Mafia has always been intertwined with the 'Sicilian soul', Fentress persuasively argues that without effective governance and improved economic conditions, the island is unlikely to rid itself of what he calls the 'soldiers of the permanent revolution'. …

orig.boards Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper. Textual maps & illustrations 24x15cm, 197 pp "For centuries, Sicilian "men of honour" have fought the controls of government. Between 1820 and 1860, rebellions shook the island as these men joined with Sicily's intellectuals in the struggle for independence from the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples. This account - which locates the emergence and evolution of the mafia in historical perspective - describes how those rebellions led to the birth of the modern mafia and traces the increasing influence of organized crime on the island. The alliance between two classes of Sicilians, James Fentress shows, made possible both the revolution and the mafia. Militancy in the ranks of the revolution taught men of honour how to organize politically. Communities then resisted the demands of central government by devising alternative controls through a network of local groups - the "mafia cosche". Fentress tells this story of honour and crime from the viewpoint of the Sicilians, and in particular of the great city of Palermo - from Garibaldi's historic arrival in 1860 to the spectacular mafia trials around the turn of the century. Drawing on police archives, trial records, contemporary journalism and government reports, he describes how enduring political power plus a (richly deserved) reputation for violence helped the mafia secure covert relationships with groups that publicly denounced them. These contacts still protect today's mafiosi from Rome's efforts to eradicate the organization" - Publisher's description. Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper.…
