Book excerpt: Rana Husseini's hard hitting, unflinching, and controversial examination of honor crimes is a fearless, groundbreaking account of a topic that can no longer be ignored. Claiming 5,000 lives annually, and common in both traditional societies and migrant communities in the USA, honor killings involve a punishment - often death or disfigurement - inflicted by a relative to restore the family's honor. The book includes personal stories of many recent high profile cases.
