The Italian Mafia: History, Literature and Film

From its local origins in Sicily, the Mafia has become a global phenomenon and a widespread model of organized crime that threatens and corrupts the international economy, political systems, and social environments. Although its power and underworld activities affect legal business, control illegal traffic, and trample human rights, a romanticized and even heroic vision of the Mafia nevertheless persists in film, television, and literature.
