An Offer We Can'T Refuse: The Mafia In The Mind Of America,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A provocative and entertaining look at the mafia, the media, and the (un)making of Italian Americans.As evidenced in countless films, novels, and television portrayals, the Mafia has maintained an enduring hold on the American cultural imaginationeven as it continues to wrongly color our reallife perception of Italian Americans. In An Offer We Can't Refuse, George De Stefano takes a close look at the origins and prevalence of the Mafia mythos in America.Beginning with a consideration of Italian emigration in the early twentieth century and the fear and prejudiceamong both Americans and Italiansthat informed our earliest conception of what was at the time the largest immigrant group to enter the United States, De Stefano explores how these impressions laid the groundwork for the images so familiar to us today and uses them to illuminate and explore the variety and allure of Mafia storiesfrom Coppola's romanticized paeans to Scorsese's bloody realism to the bourgeois world of David Chase's Sopranoswhile discussing the cultural richness often contained in these works.De Stefano addresses the lingering power of the goodfella clich and the lamentable extent to which it is embedded in our consciousness, making it all but impossible to greenlight a project about the Italian American experience not set in gangland.'Invites ItalianAmericans of all backgrounds to the family table to discuss how mobrelated movies and television shows have affected the very notion of what their heritage still means in the 21st century.' Allen Barra, The New York Sun
