Heshu Old Traditions, Modern Context Samia Legal Matters Güldünya Fatma and FatihReviews'In this powerfully written book, Nicole Pope takes a comparative look at so-called honor killings, searching out the patterns and triggers that cause families and relatives to kill women suspected of sexual misconduct or even just defiance or disobedience. Pope compares honor killings in Pakistan and Turkey with violence against women elsewhere in the world, opening the road to new ways of understanding what has often been seen as a Middle Eastern or Muslim problem. Her heart- wrenching interviews with victims' families and with women who survived illuminate the social and cultural forces that lead families to murder, but also give some glimpse of how this scourge might be eliminated.' - Jenny White, associate professor of anthropology, Boston University and author of Islamist Mobilization in Turkey<br> <br> Author InformationNICOLE POPE Swiss journalist and writer based in Istanbul, Turkey.
