Sicilian Lives de Danilo Dolci - 1981

Pantheon, 1981. Soft cover. Good. 306 pages, with introduction by John Berger, map of Sicily across two pages. Translated from Italian by Justin Vitiello and Madeline Polidoro. Interviews with and monologues by residents of impoverished villages in western Sicily, collected by the Italian sociologist, poet, and apostle of non-violent action. Small trade paperback (~5" x 8"), shelf wear and rubbed along edges of spine, stains to a couple of pages as from laid-in newspaper clippings. Underscoring and/or marginalia on ~15 pages of the main text, mostly small pencil marks in margins; heavier annotation by former owner Prof. Ann E. Berthoff in the introduction (highly critical) and Dolci's preface (appreciative).
