“Erudite and readable, scholarly and passionate, this stunning ethnography reveals how the Sicilian anti-mafia movement shares with the mafia deep-seated social bonds no less significant than the mutual enmity that divides and defines them. Moreover, it provides an important critical d”imension to the growing literature on the use of economic development to counter organised crime and illicit enterprise, especially the power inequalities inherent in such endeavours.” While the books primarily subject is cooperatives, it would sit comfortable with other ethnographies of organised crime.
“Overall, the book should have wide appeal, and will be of interest to scholars of cooperatives, organised crime and counter-organised crime. Recommend to your Library Available in GOBI® Reviews
