Abstract

This paper examines the nature of Cosa Nostra, how it exists in parallel to the State, the way it depends on social consensus, and how it is culturally embedded within some sections of its community. This paper also examines the approach taken by the many some social anti-mafia activists in their struggle to change a way of thinking that presently makes it possible for ordinary people to tolerate if not accept the Mafia. The paper cites and shows examples taken from a body of visual ethnography on the subject of the Mafia and social anti-mafia.
