Sammanfattning: In The Art of Making Do in Naples, Jason Pine explores the neomelodica music scene, a vast undocumented economy animated by wedding singers, pirate TV, and tens if thousands of fans throughout southern Italy. The "art of making do" refers to the informal and sometimes illicit entrepreneural tactics of some Neapolitans who are pursuing a better life for themselves and their families. Pine offers a riveting ethnography of the lives of men who seek personal sovereignty in a shadow economy dominated, in incalculable ways, by the camorra. Pine's trenchant observations and his own improvised attempts at "making do" provide a fascinating look at the lives of people in the gray zones where organized crime blends into ordinary life.
