Soul crime. New York
If you're afraid then you are fucked. The hunter can always smell his prey. There will be no one to protect you tonight. The river flows slowly and echoes through the steps that hide beyond the cone of light from the street lamp. Eight stories of violence, passion, fear and a fascination with evil tell about the most intriguing, bloody and controversial metropolis in the world. New York is not just that, of course. A deep beauty is stuck deep into the soul of this city. But tonight the pencils and the words of young crime story authors will take you beyond the lights of the skyscrapers, beyond the smoky bars. Tonight you will navigate by sight across the East River which will take you far away, among secrets and fears. There is a strange moon that eases the navigation, that sharpens the smell, and the pleasure of the journey. It is time to move, the night will not wait. The hunt has begun. Limited edition, in english, with the contribution of Stan Lee and Matthew Modine!

Dirty money
Dirty Money tells the story of Dotun Oloko, a whistleblower who tries to expose what he suspected was the involvement of the British government and European institutions in the laundering of millions of dollars of money stolen from Nigera by James Ibori, the corrupt former governor of one of the country's oil rich states. Suspecting colossal fraud and corruption, Oloko reports the facts to the UK Department for International development and the European Investment Bank - only to find his family placed under covert surveillance. In the end, Ibori will be sentenced by a London court for fraud and money laundering. But the Western institutions that Oloko alleged were complicit are still in business.
Sacrificial Nights
Bram Stoker Award Winners Bruce Boston and Alessandro Manzetti combine their poetic and narrative talents in a poetry novella that blends the genres of horror, surrealism, crime, and noir. Set in a large America city, Sacrificial Nights follows the lives of some of those who inhabit its late-night streets: prostitutes, pimps, a thief, an arsonist, a police detective, a psychotic killer, and more. Their tales and the tale of the city itself are richly complemented by British artist Ben Baldwin’s striking illustrations. This is a dark read with some explicit graphic content. “Original, intelligent and exquisitely rendered, Sacrificial Nights is an absolute tour de force, a richly layered C...
Schiavitù e servaggio nell’economia europea. Secc. XI-XVIII = Serfdom and Slavery in the European Economy
Il volume esamina i rapporti di lavoro non contrattuali (schiavitù e servaggio) che a lungo contraddistinsero l'economia europea, sia pure con andamenti assai diversi nelle differenti aree. I saggi in esso contenuti esaminano la evoluzione del servaggio (visto come il lato economico del regime signorile) e delle diverse forme di sottomissione personale, fino alla vera e propria tratta degli schiavi, di cui i mercanti europei furono protagonisti, mettendo in luce una situazione assai più complessa e articolata di quanto gli schemi interpretativi tradizionali lasciassero intuire.

Trattate male
Durante un naufragio nel 2009 nel canale di sicilia, un gruppo di nigeriani si dispera: ha perso il suo "carico" di ragazze avvenenti pronte a prostituirsi sulla bonifica del Tronto, tra le marche e l'abruzzo. è solo un piccolo intoppo per un'organizzazione ben collaudata che in quattro anni ha assoggettato, sfruttato e ridotto in schiavitù giovani nigeriane. Secondo l'ufficio delle nazioni unite sulla droga e il crimine, la Nigeria è tra i primi otto paesi al mondo in cui è maggiormente diffuso il traffico di esseri umani. "Trattate male" è la ricostruzione di un'indagine avviata nel 2007 dal ROS de L'Aquila e del processo che ha portato a una sentenza esemplare. Per la prima volta con la confisca dei beni sequestrati agli aguzzini: sono state risarcite 17 donne nigeriane con una provvisionale immediata di 50mila euro.
