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.
