The word 'antimafia' has come to denote the movement of resistance, in all its many forms, to the mafia, while 'Antimafia' is the commonly used abbreviation for the parliamentary body whose full name is the Commissione d'inchiesta sul fenomeno della mafia in Sicilia. The historian Francesco Renda considers the Antimafia, and other legislative measures, as instances of 'antimafia'. Danilo Dolci was born in northern Italy, settled in Sicily in the 1940s. In many of his writings, he allows ordinary Sicilians to speak in the first person. The speaker was a friend of the Corleone peasant leader, Placido Rizzotto, who headed a movement for land reform in the immediate post-war period, and was killed in 1948 by Luciano Liggio's faction of the mafia. Until recently, the world of the mafia was totally male. However, some women have begun to emerge in mafia ranks, others have been victims of mafia violence.
