TY - GEN T1 - Reversible destiny : mafia, antimafia, and the struggle for Palermo A1 - Schneider, Jane, 1938- A2 - Schneider, Peter T., 1933- LA - English PP - Berkeley PB - University of California Press YR - 2003 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm52843542 AB - Reversible Destiny traces the history of the Sicilian mafia to its nineteenth-century roots and examines its late twentieth-century involvement in urban real estate and construction as well as drugs. Based on research in the regional capital of Palermo, this book suggests lessons regarding secretive organized crime: its capacity to reproduce a subculture of violence through time, its acquisition of a dense connective web of political and financial protectors during the Cold War era, and the sad reality that repressing it easily risks harming vulnerable people and communities.
