Description: Women of the Mafia by Felia Allum Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "The life stories and roles of women in the Neapolitan Camorra in the post-war period showing their agency and presence in this criminal organization"-- Publisher Description Women of the Mafia dives into the Neapolitan criminal underworld of the Camorra as seen and lived by the women who inhabit it. It tells their life stories and unpacks the gender dynamics by examining their participation as active agents in the organization as leaders, managers, foot soldiers, and enablers. Felia Allum shows that these women are true partners in crime.The author offers an innovative interdisciplinary analysis that demystifies the notion that the Camorra is a sexist, male-centric organization. She links her analysis of Camorra culture within the wider Neapolitan context to show how mothers and women act and are treated in the private sphere of the household and how the family helps explain the power women have found in the Neapolitan Camorra. It is civil society and law enforcement agencies that continue to see the Camorra using traditional gender assumptions which render women irrelevant and lacking independent agency in the criminal underworld. In Women of the Mafia, Allum debunks these assumptions by revealing the power and influence of women in the Camorra. Author Biography Felia Allum is Professor in the department of Politics, Languages and International Studies at the University of Bath (UK).
