This book develops the idea that the Cosa Nostra Sicilian mafia likes and, more than any other criminal organization, follows the patterns of capitalist transformation. The author presents analysis of the mafia under post-fordism capitalism, showing how they rely on increasingly more flexible networks for reasons of both cost and dodging police control, as well as changing their core businesses in relation to the risk that some activities, such as drug trafficking, are likely to incur. divCombining sociology, criminology and labour sociology, the book provides an interpretation of Cosa Nostra which focuses on the connection between legal and illegal economies and politics, thus doing away with the idea that organized crime is always an external entity to society. An authoritative and original study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminal justice, politics and economics.
First published in 1981 The Italian Communist Party looks at the debate within the party and how its strategy was forged. It considers the development of Eurocommunism, the rise and fall of the Ingrao Left and many other topics related to the formulation of the PCI.

It shows how changing ideals affected policy and the party’s organisation and how different attitudes emerged from the diverse social and economic conditions in the different parts of Italy. This book is an important historical document for scholars and researchers of Italian communism, European communism and political studies.
Il Sessantotto non è avvenuto solo a Roma o nel Nord Italia. C'è stato un Sessantotto anche nel Sud, e in Sicilia. Qual è stato l'apporto e quali sono state le caratteristiche del Sessantotto delle periferie? E quale "periferia", quale "centro"?Come ha funzionato l'incontro / scontro tra modernità e resistenze locali? Questo è il primo studio organico che sia stato fatto sul Sessantotto in Sicilia, in occasione del "trentennale" del Sessantotto (Bologna 1998, a cura dell'istituto Gramsci Emilia Romagna). Lo ripubblichiamo in forma ampliata come utile materiale documentario per il "cinquantenario" del 2018 e per i successivi.
