Reviews

'This book provides an exciting analysis of mafia narratives... It will be of great value to scholars interested in Italian and comparative literature, Gender Studies, social justice, Mafia Studies, Trauma Studies, and Sicilian identity, to name just a few.' -- Amy Boylan * Modern Language Review vol 112:04:2017 * In her detailed and insightful study of the Italian Mafia since 1990, Robin Pickering-Iazzi guides readers through multilayered, cultural, and sociological narratives by women...Her book gives scholars and students new tools and a set of original theoretical approaches to use in contemplating Southern Italian culture and its landscape. It offers a refreshing approach to understanding the geographies of organized crime and those who fight against it. -- Giovanna De Luca, College of Charleston * Gender/Sexuality/Italy, August 2019 *
