Olwan examines how certain forms of violence become known, recognized, and contested across multiple geopolitical contexts-looking specifically at a particular form of gender-based violence known as the "honor crime" and tracing how a range of legal, political, and literary texts inform normative and critical understandings of this term. Although studies now acknowledge the complicated mobilizations of honor crime discourses, the ways in which these discourses move across different geographies and contexts remain relatively unexplored. This book fills that void by providing a transnational feminist examination of the disparate yet interconnected sites of the US, Canada, Jordan, and Palestine, showing how the concept travels across nations and is deployed to promote hegemonic agendas. 606 $aSocial Science / Islamic Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Middle Eastern$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Gender Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aSocial Science / Islamic Studies 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Middle Eastern 615 7$aSocial Science / Gender Studies 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 676 $a364.152/3 700 $aOlwan$b Dana M$01276350 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645975403321 996 $aGender Violence and the Transnational Politics of the Honor Crime$93007564 997 $aUNINA
