It is an unparalleled organised criminal grouping that over almost two centuries has been able not only to successfully permeate licit and illicit economy, politics and civil society, but also to influence and exercise authoritative power over both the underworld and the upper-world. This criminal phenomenon has been a captivating conundrum for scholars of different disciplines who have tried to explain with various paradigms the reasons behind the emergence and consolidation of the mafia.    Challenging the Mafia Mystique provides an analysis of the changes the Sicilian mafia has undergone, from legitimisation to denunciation. Rino Coluccello highlights how, from the very emergence of the organised criminal groups in Sicily, a culture existed that was protective and tolerant of the mafia. He argues that the various conceptualisations of the mafia that dominated the public and scientific debate in the nineteenth and more than half of the twentieth century created a mystique, which legitimised the mafia and contributed to their success. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of organised crime, Italian politics and Italian literature.Literature, Modern20th centuryOrganized crimeCrimeSociological aspectsSociologyCriminologyTwentieth-Century LiteratureOrganized CrimeCrime and SocietySociologyCriminologyLiterature, ModernOrganized crime.CrimeSociological aspects.Sociology.Criminology.Twentieth-Century Literature.Organized Crime.Crime and Society.Sociology.Criminology.364.10609Coluccello Rinoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut719498BOOK9910253319503321Challenging the Mafia Mystique2534503UNINA
