Discover a groundbreaking exploration of Mafia politics with 'Cosa Nostra: An Alternative Political Tradition' by Marco Santoro. This BRAND NEW book delves into the Mafia as a unique form of political organization, challenging traditional views that regard it merely as a criminal enterprise or an industry of protection. Santoro's 2021 publication, published by John Wiley & Sons UK, presents the Mafia not as a failure of state governance, but as an age-old institution that reflects a distinct Southern political and social life, centered on personal ties, obligations, and prestige.

Description:
This ground-breaking book offers a deep and original analysis of the Mafia “ in particular Cosa Nostra “ as a distinct form of politics. Marco Santoro breaks with criminal and economic approaches which see the Mafia as an industry of private protection and rationally calculating wealth accumulation. Instead he argues that it represents an alternative way of organizing political relations, the exercise of power, and the struggle for prestige. Nor is this a distortion or failure of the modern Western state, based on the rule of law: the Mafia is best understood as an older, alternative tradition of politics, a distinctly Southern institutional arrangement of social life focused on personal ties and obligations. Today, the Mafia still thrives among subaltern classes and in regions that the modern state has not yet incorporated, as a conservative counter-politics of prestige. Pivotal to understanding this world is a cultural sociology of the Mafia, offering the tools and concepts necessary to penetrate the symbolism and structures of Mafia life.
Blending diverse theoretical strands with folk sources and the voices of Mafiosi themselves, Santoro develops a political theory of the Mafia, shedding new light on this captivating, global, and remarkably resilient phenomenon.

Cheap and good
Color: Black, Color: Black
I chose the color black and it gives a really nice look, especially with the multicolor led lights around the keys. It is very easy to clean and you can shut off the keyboard to prevent any mess with the iPad. The magnet is very nice and keeps the keyboard in place. The keyboard doesn’t easily slip or anything so it holds the iPad very well. Only bad thing is that over time the iPad begins to scrape off the pain and it leaves your keyboard with some white spots all over :/ but if looks isn’t something that you care about, this is the keyboard for you. Don’t use it for gaming because there is a delay in functionality when you press a key and then try to use the pad. Also, you have to press the keys a bit harder than the usual keyboard. But for the price? This is a great item! Definitely worth my money

Works great
Color: Purple
Works just pretty good. My only complaint would be that it can turn on the screen when closed. I put it in my backpack and went throughout my school day only to find out later the battery had drained because the screen would light up and stay on.
Did not have this issue with other covers. Easy work around is to just do a complete shutoff or maybe change the settings before putting in away. I just had the habit of keeping mine on because of frequent use in back to back classes.

Great case & keyboard combo
Color: Navy Blue
Great case! Updated my son’s children’s case to this one and he loves it! He feels like it’s a laptop now. The magnetic feature is great & it’s super easy to install!

Cover is nice, keyboard could be better
Color: Navy Blue
The cover itself is nice. The magnetic closure works well. It fits my iPad really well. It’s a good case for the money, but the keyboard feels pretty cheap and flimsy.

So far so good.

Seems to be working perfectly. Battery is a little meh, small scratches but nothing that effected the screen.It'll be perfect for my child. It'd be in excellent condition if the battery were better. Worth the 100 bucks.
