Beskrivning

In this comprehensive study of the role of women in the Italian mafia, Ombretta Ingrasci assesses the roles and spaces of women within traditionally male, patriarchal organized crime units. The study draws on an extensive range of research, legal reports and interviews with women involved with the mafia, public officials and police. Placed within a framework of political, social, cultural and religious history, post-1945, this book provides an excellent history of women and organized crime in modern Italy.

Recensioner i media

For very long, women were considered a passive force in Italian mafia organizations. Ombretta Ingrasci''s path-breaking study brings to the fore women's agency and offers a theoretically subtle discussion of the complex role of women. Add to that a wealth of archival and oral data, and you have in your hands a definitive study of this difficult subject.
