![]() ![]() Author: Tejada Susan Publisher: Massari Editore Sulla vicenda di Sacco & Vanzetti si è pubblicato molto. Il tema è entrato nel mito e nell'immaginario generale ma, soprattutto negli Usa, non cessa di essere oggetto di analisi e ricerche storiche. Ogni nuovo libro - se è di quelli seri - contribuisce con qualche nuovo materiale a chiarire aspetti che sono rimasti oscuri, nel quadro di una vicenda che ancora presenta più di un lato oscuro. Il libro della Tejada è il più recente. Uscito nel 2012 presso la Northeastern University Press di Boston, porta un imprimatur di garanzia per la serietà della ricerca. Vi si esaminano a fondo i materiali del processo, si videnziano le molte contraddizioni e si ricostruisce l'ambiente politico in cui il processo ebbe luogo. In particolare si descrive dettagliatamente il mondo degli anarchici italo-americani. € 20,00
Scontato: € 19,00

![]() ![]() Author: Tejada Susan Publisher: Northeastern Univ Pr It was a bold and brutal crime--robbery and murder in broad daylight on the streets of South Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1920. Tried for the crime and convicted, two Italian-born laborers, anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, went to the electric chair in 1927, professing their innocence. Journalist Susan Tejada has spent years investigating the case, sifting through diaries and police reports and interviewing descendants of major figures. She discovers little-known facts about Sacco, Vanzetti, and their supporters, and develops a tantalizing theory about how a doomed insider may have been coerced into helping professional criminals plan the heist. The author takes a panoramic view of the case, allowing the reader to see the personalities as individuals. She also paints a fascinating portrait of a bygone era: Providence gangsters and Boston Brahmins; nighttime raids and midnight bombings; and immigration, unionism, draft dodging, and violent anarchism in the turbulent early years of the twentieth century. In many ways this is as much a cultural history as a true-crime mystery or courtroom drama. Because the case played out against a background of domestic terrorism, in a time that echoes our own, we have a new appreciation of the potential connection between fear and the erosion of civil liberties and miscarriages of justice. € 17,90
