Framing Sexual and Domestic Violence through Language
With examples from throughout Europe and the United States, the contributors to this volume explore how gender violence is framed through language and what this means for research and policy. Language shapes responses to abuse and approaches to perpetrators and interfaces with national debates about gender, violence, and social change.
In Honor of Fadime
In 2002 young Fadime Sahindal was brutally murdered by her own father. She belonged to a family of Kurdish immigrants who had lived in Sweden for almost two decades. But Fadime’s relationship with a man outside of their community had deeply dishonored her family, and only her death could remove the stain. This abhorrent crime shocked the world, and her name soon became a rallying cry in the struggle to combat so-called honor killings. Unni Wikan narrates Fadime’s heartbreaking story through her own eloquent words, along with the testimonies of her father, mother, and two sisters. What unfolds is a tale of courage and betrayal, loyalty and love, power and humiliation, and a nearly unfatho...
Resonance
Resonance gathers together forty years of anthropological study by a researcher and writer with one of the broadest fieldwork résumés in anthropology: Unni Wikan. In its twelve essays—four of which are brand new—Resonance covers encounters with transvestites in Oman, childbirth in Bhutan, poverty in Cairo, and honor killings in Scandinavia, with visits to several other locales and subjects in between. Including a comprehensive preface and introduction that brings the whole work into focus, Resonance surveys an astonishing career of anthropological inquiry that demonstrates the possibility for a common humanity, a way of knowing others on their own terms. Deploying Clifford Geertz’s c...
Sonay
"Sonay" er historien om den irakisk-danske pige Sonay Mohammad (1987-2002), der som kun 14-årig blev dræbt af sin far i Præstø. Årsagen var æresrelateret. I bogen fortæller journalist Arne Schmidt Møller Sonays historie. Om hendes hårde opvækst og rejse fra Irak til Danmark, om hendes modig oprør mod familien og vilje til at leve som en ung, frigjort kvinde. Et oprør, der i sidste ende koster hende livet. Bogen stiller også skarpt på den kvindeundertrykkelse, som nogle etniske minoritetskvinder dagligt oplever i lukkede parallelsamfund rundt omkring i Danmark.

Du er ikke alene
"Du er ikke alene" er en bog om de psykiske og fysiske reaktioner på voldtægt. Bogen indeholder 8 kvinders egne voldtægtsberetninger, hvor de fortæller, hvilke konsekvenser denne skæbnesvangre oplevelse har haft på deres liv efterfølgende. Ind i mellem beretningerne kan man samtidig finde indlæg af fagpersoner, der til dagligt arbejder med udsatte og voldtægtsofre. "Du er ikke alene" er dog også en bog om håb. Et håb for den enkelte kan komme på fode igen. Et håb om at det en dag ikke længere er tabuiseret at være offer for en voldtægt. Et håb om, at selv om man har været udsat for noget forfærdeligt, så er man ikke alene...
