Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of 20th-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance; this is the story of the one man who stood in opposition. In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily. The maxi-processo saw 462 men and 4 women take the stand, accused of kidnapping, extortion, drug trafficking and thousands upon thousands of murders. Sitting in the galley was Leonardo Sciascia, then aged 65. One of the greatest European writers of the 20th century, he had published the only fictional account of the Mafia, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as the one true moral figure in a county where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life. Sciascia was born in 1921 and came of age alongside the then-adolescent Mafia. Following the First World War, Sicily faced extreme poverty and hardship, and many Sicilians did not recognise Rome's leadership, leaving a void local gangsters would soon fill. Witnessing the spread of corruption and violence in his own hometown, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business. In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul.

A powerful and inspiring biography of Merze Tate, a trailblazing Black woman scholar and intrepid world traveler &nbsp; Finalist for the Stone Book Award, sponsored by the Museum of African American History &nbsp; Born in rural Michigan during the Jim Crow era, the bold and irrepressible Merze Tate (1905–1996) refused to limit her intellectual ambitions, despite living in what she called a “sex and race discriminating world.” Against all odds, the brilliant and hardworking Tate earned degrees in international relations from Oxford University in 1935 and a doctorate in government from Harvard in 1941. She then joined the faculty of Howard University, where she taught for three decades of her long life spanning the tumultuous twentieth century. &nbsp; This book revives and critiques Tate’s prolific and prescient body of scholarship, with topics ranging from nuclear arms limitations to race and imperialism in India, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. Tate credited her success to other women, Black and white, who helped her realize her dream of becoming a scholar. Her quest for research and adventure took her around the world twice, traveling solo with her cameras. &nbsp; Barbara Savage’s skilled rendering of Tate’s story is built on more than a decade of research. Tate’s life and work challenge provincial approaches to African American and American history, women’s history, the history of education, diplomatic history, and international thought.
