- This monograph is drawn from extensive ethnographic research and in-depth interviews with drug traffickers imprisoned in Ecuador. Based on a year’s fieldwork in prisons (notoriously difficult to access in South America), the extensive ethnographic data set adds new knowledge about the place of women in transnational organised crime. The book contributes new understandings about women as offenders and the changing gender roles in the cocaine trade, going beyond assumptions that they are only drug mules.
