Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The historical decline of fertility in Europe has occupied a central place in social history and demography over the past quarter-century. Most scholars credit Europeans with modulating sexual behavior, through either abstinence or the practice of coitus interruptus, as a rational choice mad…e in the interest of personal economic comfort; yet peasant and working classes have typically lagged behind in birth control and have given rise to the adage that "sexual embrace is the festival of the poor." Scholarly analyses of "lag" often reinforce this stigmatizing view. Now this subject is given a fresh look through a case study in Sicily, one of the last outposts of Western Europe's demographic transition. By examining population changes in a single community between 1860 and 1980, the authors offer an extended review and critique of existing models of fertility decline in Europe, proposing a new interpretation that emphasizes historical context and class relations. They show how the spread of capitalism in Sicily induced an unprecedented rate of population growth, with boom-and-bust cycles creating the class experiences in which "reputational networks" came to redefine family life; how Sicilians began to control their fertility in response to class-mediated ideas about gender relations and respectable family size; and how the town's gentry, artisan, and peasant classes adopted family planning methods at different times in response to different pressures. Jane and Peter Schneider's anthropologically oriented political-economy perspective challenges the position of Western Europe as a model for fertility decline on which every other case should converge, looking instead at the diversity of cultural ideals and practices--such as those found in Sicily--that influence the spread and form of birth control. Combining anthropological, oral historical, and archival methods in new and insightful ways, the authors' synthesis of a particular case study with a broad historical and theoretical discussion will play a major role in the ongoing debates over the history of European fertility decline and point the way toward integrating the analysis of demographic upheaval with the study of class formation and ideology.

Brossura. Condition: new. Roma, 2009; br., pp. 350, cm 15x21.(La Storia. Temi. 11). Nel nome della lotta alla mafia, e alla corruzione politico-affaristica che sta dietro di essa, si sono evidenziate nuove soggettività, nuove passioni, nuove forme di comunicazione politica Grande merito degli Schneider è quello di prendere insie…me in considerazione sia l'azione che la reazione. Qui sta l'interesse del libro, qui sta la sua originalità. Già in passato, ci ricordano i nostri autori, la Sicilia aveva vissuto la dimensione dilacerante del conflitto sociale, politico e culturale. Già in passato le lotte per la terra e del movimento contadino si erano proposte come l'alternativa al sistema di potere di cui la mafia ha sempre fatto parte. Ma gli sviluppi recenti della battaglia entrano nel nucleo centrale della questione siciliana, nel momento stesso in cui il mondo variegato delle associazioni e dei movimenti antimafiosi ha provato a dar forma dal basso a una società civile consapevole, informata, battagliera. Il pezzo di Sicilia su cui si incentra l'analisi dagli Schneider è cambiato e tuttora cambia. È pensabile che cambino di segno, da negativo a positivo, gli stessi tratti di fondo della cultura regionale? Il titolo originale del lavoro è Reversibile Destiny. La risposta dei nostri autori è dunque positiva: quei caratteri possono essere rovesciati. Libro.
