Event overview
A Discussion with Professor John Dickie and Professor Federico Varese
Seminar: A Discussion with Professor John Dickie and Professor Federico Varese
Sponsored by the Research Unit in Governance and Democracy, Department of Politics, Goldsmiths, University of London
This seminar, moderated by Dr Carl Levy, will discuss the implications of the Dickie’s and Varese’s latest books. John Dickie’s Mafia Brotherhoods: Camorra, mafia, ‘ndrangheta: The Rise of the Honoured Societies ( Sceptre, 2011) is a comparative history of Italy’s three major criminal fraternities, the Sicilian mafia, the Neapolitan camorra, and the Calabrian ‘ndrangheta, from their origins to the end of the Second World War. Federico Varese’s Mafias on the Move: How Organized Crime Conquers New Territories (Princeton University Press, 2011) questions the ease to which contemporary organized crime can spread from national homelands (Russian mobsters in New York, Chinese triads in London and Italian mafias throughout the West). The truth is more complicated.
John Dickie: Professor of Italian Studies at University College London
Federico Varese: Professor of Criminology and Fellow of Linacre College, Oxford.
