The Italian Land Reform: Some Problems in the Development of a Cultural Tradition
test the hypothesis that agricultural organization has priority over morality in determining southern Italian political behavior. It was found that the reform program had effected significant changes in agricultural structure, but that the social and ideological changes anticipated had not occurred: there has not developed a new cultural tradition-a way of life with continuity in time. The factors that have inhibited the creation of such a tradit…

Exploitation' in Rural Central Italy: Structure and Ideology in Stratification Study
The agricultural organization that has long characterized the Central Italian hills, the mezzadria system of share-farming, is today 'in crisis'. Overtly, the crisis is manifested in an increasing antagonism between landlords and peasants, large-scale withdrawal of peasants from the system, and political agitation directed towards it
Agricultural Organization, Social Structure, and Values in Italy: Amoral Familism Reconsidered1
The ethos of "amoral familism," which was suggested by Banfield as an explanation of political behavior in a Southern Italian community, may be restated as a summary of several significant features of Southern Italian social structure.

In order to identify…

The ethnographic strategy that works toward the formulation of a culture's rules for perceiving the objective world and for making culturally acceptable decisions was applied to the system of social stratification in a community in Central Italy. In order to determine the native categories by which persons are hierarchically differentiated, the criteria that define these categories, and the indicators by which criteria are judged to have been met…
Patronage and Community-Nation Relationships in Central Italy
This article examines the dynamics of patronage and community-nation relationships in central Italy. Silverman argues that patronage, as a form of political exchange, plays a crucial role in linking local communities to the larger national political system. She explores how patron-client ties operate within the context of community structure and political factions, influencing access to resources and power. The study highlights the tension betwee…
