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. 410 0$aEuropean anthropology in translation ;$vVolume 7. 606 $aPatron and client$zItaly, Southern 606 $aPatronage, Political$zItaly, Southern 607 $aItaly, Southern$xPolitics and government 607 $aItaly, Southern$xSocial conditions 610 $aPatrongage-clientelism, Patronage, Corruption, Southern Italy, Basilicata. 615 0$aPatron and client 615 0$aPatronage, Political 676 $a306.20945/7 700 $aZinn$b Dorothy Louise$0145592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822072903321 996 $aRaccomandazione$9506835 997 $aUNINA
