Book Description
This book provides a better understanding of so-called honor killings, the patriarchal murder of women, which occurs in the Middle East and East Asia. Honor killings are not so well-known in Western societies, but because of a growing number of immigrants and refugees who are not always well-integrated into Western cultures, the practice is appearing with greater frequency in the West.
