Robin Pickering-Iazzi talks about The Mafia in Italian Lives and Literature

Mafia book cover.

Our own Italian Professor Robin Pickering-Iazzi talks about her new book The Mafia in Italian Lives and Literature: Life Sentences and Their Geographies.

Her book explores how “the works of fiction, non-fiction, online social engagement, and practices performed by large numbers of Italians in their daily lives create a culture of legality that promotes truth, justice, human dignity, and working to better social conditions, while opposing all forms of illegality and the mafia.”
