In this second edition of <em>Organized Crime and American Power</em>, Michael Woodiwiss refocuses on US organized crime as an American problem.</p><p>The book starts in 1789, with the birth of a new nation, intended to be run according to laws and conventions, with a written commitment to civil rights. Woodiwiss examines the organization of crime before the Civil War, which damaged or destroyed the lives of those excluded from constitutional protections: Indigenous peoples, Black people, and women. The book focuses on white supremacist crime and the pernicious influence of Southern leaders in alliance with opportunistic politicians. It examines the organized crimes of powerful business interests in alliance with politicians, as well as the corrupt consequences of the US moralistic campaigns against alcohol, gambling, drugs, and abortion.</p><p><em>Organized Crime and American Power</em> brings solid historical evidence and analysis to the task of refuting conventional wisdom that frames organized crime as something external to US political, economic, and social systems.</p>...4734026Organized Crime and American Power526554https://www.gandhi.com.mx/organized-crime-and-american-power-9781487543433/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4549587/image.jpg?v=638533861258030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781487543433_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_<p>Popular histories of organized crime in the United States often look to the Mafia and the sons of early twentieth-century immigrants such as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Meyer Lansky for their origins.
