Earlier drafts of this paper were read to a seminar at the University of Sussex and to the Mediterranean Social Sciences Research Council conference on local and regional factors influencing national development, held in Malta, December 13–16, 1965. Very special thanks are due also to Professors Lucy Mair and Bruce Graham for their penetrating critique of aspects of it, which I have tried to meet. The initial field work in 1962/63 upon which the argument is based was greatly assisted by the generosity of the Centro Regionale per lo Sviluppo di Comun tà through the good offices of Rev. S. Duynstee, the Penrose fund of the American Philosophical Society and the Co‐operative for American Relief to Everywhere (C.A.R E., Inc.). A return trip to Sicily during the summer of 1965 and the preparation of this article for publication were made possible by a Faculty Research Grant from the Social Science Research Council, for which I am most grateful.
