When Danilo Docli, peace worker, organizer, educator, first arrived in 1952 in Trappeto, a village of peasants and fishermen in western Sicily, there were no streets, just mud and dust, not a single drugstore, not even a sewer. (In fact, the local dialect didnt even have a word for sewer.) Like other Sicilians, the villagers, seen by many Italians as bandits, dirteaters, 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 voicesthe 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
