Examining violence against women in the name of honor in Iraqi
Kurdistan, this study renders a unique contribution by offering an
intersectional perspective. Minoo Alinia reveals the links between
destructive, state-sanctioned honor discourse and notions of
manhood as they are shaped by a resistance culture dedicated to the
struggle against ethnic oppression. Supplying socioeconomic,
historical, and political contexts, this book challenges
explanations rooted in ideas of individual or cultural pathology.
It demonstrates that, in Iraqi Kurdistan, women's bodies have
become the battleground for clashes between different
masculinities, identity politics, and political projects.
