Although drug dealing in Latin America is a predominantly male enterprise, Soraya is one of the rare women who has established herself within the trade. Her involvement seems to have outwardly imbued her with confidence and independence, but it has also brought much tragedy to her life. While Soraya challenges many gendered expectations, her life possibilities are also fundamentally constrained by enduring structures of 'machismo' and patriarchy, which have in many ways been magnified by her involvement in drug dealing. 000302562 580__ $$aIn: Portraits of persistence. - Austin : University of Texas Press, 2024. - Pages 21-38 000302562 6531_ $$aGender, Class, Race and Intersectionality 000302562 700__ $$aRodgers, Dennis 000302562 8564_ $$98f42030a-2e77-4254-a810-125ed742325f$$s323942$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/302562/files/Auyero_Portraits_of%20Persistence_Dennis_Rodgers_chapter.pdf 000302562 901__ $$uAnthropology and Sociology of Development Department 000302562 901__ $$uCentre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding 000302562 909CO $$ooai:repository.graduateinstitute.ch:302562$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pIHEID:Explore 000302562 981__ $$aoverwrite
