Описание:
From the 1920s until the early 21st century, one Sicilian mob family defied everyone from the California attorney general to J. Edgar Hoover to chart their own American Dream. Unlike their flashier rivals in New York and Chicago who met their end by the knife, the bullet, or a judge's gavel, this crime family prospered and grew alongside their adopted home of San Francisco. This book tells how they did it.
Readers will learn how the Lanzas managed to retain control of their patch from the end of Prohibition through the Summer of Love and into the beginnings of the dot-com era, gaining insight into not only what the west-coast branch of the Mob did, but also why they did it. The documentation of how this mostly unknown crime syndicate formed, evolved, and eventually folded is set against the backdrop of the city of San Francisco transforming itself from a gritty port and manufacturing hub dominated by Italian- and Irish-Americans into the multicultural intellectual and services capital it is today.
Begin a dialogue on racial justice, reconciliation, and transformation.
In April of 2017, the Joan and Ralph Lane Center for Catholic Studies and Social Thought at the University of San Francisco sponsored a roundtable discussion on race and incarceration. The event brought together the wisdom of formerly incarcerated activists and leaders with artists, ministers and scholars of various disciplines--law, sociology, theology, critical race theory, and pastoral ministry. Participants investigated the historical, legal, and political structures behind the mass incarceration of people of color in the United States. It also explored the impact of the criminal justice system on individuals and families while identifying the ethical and theological dimensions of this reality. The intent of the roundtable was to use the Jesuit tradition of consciousness-raising to bridge the resources of the university with those of the community.
The roundtable created a space for all participants to begin a dialogue on racial justice, reconciliation, and transformation. The discussion not only exposed the historical, social, legal, and ethical dimensions of racial injustice in our prisons; it highlighted the resilience and strategies of resistance among incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. In particular, the conversation and resulting essays lifted up the role of spirituality and creative expression as essential to the survival and transformation of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people. This book is an expression and expansion of that conversation.
