Murder in the Name of Honour
Murder in the Name of Honour is Rana Husseini's hard-hitting and controversial examination of honour crimes. Common in many traditional societies around the world, as well as in migrant communities in Europe and the USA, they involve a 'punishment' - often death or disfigurement - carried out by a relative to restore the family's honour. Breaking through the conspiracy of silence surrounding this crime, one writer above all others has been instrumental in bringing it to the world's attention: Rana Husseini. Honour crimes are common in many traditional societies around the world, as well as in migrant communities in Europe and the USA. They involve a 'punishment' - often death or disfigurement - carried out by a relative to restore the family's honour. This book examines honour crimes.
