Honor killings claim the lives of around 5,000 women every year. Murder in the Name of Honor is Rana Husseini's hard-hitting and controversial examination of honor crimes. Common in many traditional societies around the world, as well as in migrant communities in USA and Europe, they involve a punishment - often death or disfigurement - carried out by a relative to restore the family's honor. 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.
