Paul Caruana Galizia Libri

“Ci sono corrotti ovunque si guardi, la situazione è disperata.” L’ultimo post di Daphne Caruana Galizia su Running Commentary si chiude così, alle 14.35 del 16 ottobre 2017. Pochi minuti dopo la Peugeot 108 su cui Daphne si sta allontanando da casa salta in aria, e quella frase diventa un testamento involontario consegnato ai lettori del suo blog. Daphne ha pagato con la vita trent’anni di giornalismo investigativo in cui ha denunciato i lati più oscuri di Malta, dalla corruzione dei suoi politici al narcotraffico al riciclaggio di denaro sporco, dall’influenza del regime azero sulla politica locale al ruolo di Malta nello scandalo dei Panama Papers al sistema della vendita della cittadinanza maltese che vale il 2,5% del PIL dell’isola. “Quando un giornalista viene ucciso ne soffre tutta la società,” ha scritto Margaret Atwood. E questo è tanto più vero se accade nel silenzio assordante della giustizia. Fino a quando anche un solo giornalista perderà la vita per aver raccontato la verità, le ultime parole di Daphne rimarranno un monito doloroso tra i fiori negati del suo memoriale.

Two years later, they have.In the Name of the Mother is more than an investigation into the life and assassination of Daphne by her son Paul. It's an examination of the globalisation of corruption and what it has done to a modern European country; it's about the escape from colonialism to another kind of arrogant power; it's a personal history of writing when the stakes are high and the intimidation is violent. Above all, it's a universal homage to mothers and their sons.

Focusing on the Mediterranean's labor market, this work explores the region's unique responses to globalization in the nineteenth century. It examines disparities between the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, analyzing factors like wage inequality and emigration patterns.
