Based on long-term ethnographic research in southern Italy, this book examines the concept and practice of raccomandazione: the omnipresent social institution of using connections to get things done. Viewing the practice both from an indigenous perspective – as a morally ambivalent social fact – and considering it in light of the power relations that position southern Italy within the nesting relations of global Norths and Souths, it builds on and extends past scholarship to consider the nature of patronage in a contemporary society and its relationship to corruption.European anthropology in translation ;Volume 7.Patron and clientItaly, SouthernPatronage, PoliticalItaly, SouthernItaly, SouthernPolitics and governmentItaly, SouthernSocial conditionsPatrongage-clientelism, Patronage, Corruption, Southern Italy, Basilicata.Patron and clientPatronage, Political306.20945/7Zinn Dorothy Louise145592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822072903321Raccomandazione506835UNINA
