{"product_id":"violence-and-the-great-estates-frank-snowden-9780521527101","title":"Violence and the Great Estates in the South of Italy: Apulia, 1900 1922","description":"Until Italian unification, vast areas of Apulia were an uninhabited sheep walk. In the late nineteenth century this frontier area was settled and agro-business established. In the quasi-colonial context of the South of Italy, the relations between landowners and farm workers were characterized by extreme forms of oppression and brutality. This book is a study of the world the landlords made and of the harsh structures of profit, tenure, and climate they faced. It is also a powerful investigation of the appallingly grim conditions in the teeming agricultural centres of the region and a vivid history of the struggle by the farm workers to win the ordinary decencies of life - clothes, clean water, and bread. In the process, the labourers formed a potent anarcho-syndicalist movement whose history the book relates from the first general strikes in 1901 to the restoration of the landlords' power by fascist terror in 1922.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Snowden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521527104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521527101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.58w x 0.48d","brand":"Frank Snowden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443507933439,"sku":"9780521527101","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0a8426f-43ab-4d77-902f-164300e509b3.jpg?v=1777205953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-and-the-great-estates-frank-snowden-9780521527101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
