About This Book

"In Village Politics and the Mafia in Sicily Filippo Sabetti details the emergence, evolution, and collapse of a local mafia and antimafia in a historical, "before-after" perspective, providing an in-depth analysis of the effect of the abolition of feudalism in 1812, the unification of Italy in 1860, and subsequent regime changes on village politics in Sicily.

Refocusing the study of village politics and the mafia by extending rational choice institutionalism to Italian history and politics, Sabetti shows what can happen when those acting for the state regard ordinary people as passive voices in the game of life."--BOOK JACKET.
