Across numerous regions worldwide, the prevalence of violence perpetrated in the name of family honor is garnering increasing attention. Commonly referred to as honor-based violence, this form of physical assault primarily targets women, often for behaviors deemed dishonorable within the confines of familial and societal norms. In this comprehensive book, we delve into the intricate conflicts of honor, exploring their triggers, management, and the tragic consequences that can lead to death.
Drawing upon a diverse array of case studies and employing Donald Blacks concept of social geometry, Execution by Family offers a novel and comprehensive framework for understanding family honor violence. It extends beyond patriarchy, culture, and kinship to develop a unified theory that encompasses these complex phenomena. Within the context of the honor belt, a region spanning from north Africa to southeast Asia, we examine the prevalence of inequality, patriarchy, group authority, and gerontocracy, which serve as fertile grounds for the flourishing of honor violence.
By reviewing survey data and highlighting a multi-pronged, cross-national social movement, the book sheds light on the future of honor-based violence. It serves as a valuable resource for individuals interested in family conflict, violence, crime, and popular morality. Moreover, it will be of immense value to academics and students pursuing studies in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, social psychology, and anthropology.
