(In fact, the local dialect didnt even have a word for sewer.) Like other Sicilians, the villagers, seen by many Italians as bandits, dirt-eaters, and savages, had, in effect, been mute for centuries.Dolcis years of work broke this silence. The result is Sicilian Lives, a book which reveals the intimate experiences and perceptions of a wide range of Sicilians, rural and urban, through voices that are sometimes frightening, but always fascinating and unexpected.Danilo Dolci has collected a rich panorama of voices-the eloquent testimony of Sicilians who, at last, are speaking out to penetrate the most profound dilemmas of an impoverished land.With a foreword by John Berger\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51859909902624,"sku":"NEW0394749383","price":22.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71uy1n39V4L.jpg?v=1781596069","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sicilian-lives-0394749383","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
