{"product_id":"honor-and-the-political-economy-joanne-payton-9781978801714","title":"Honor and the Political Economy of Marriage: Violence Against Women in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq","description":"'Honor' is used as a justification for violence perpetrated against women and girls considered to have violated social taboos related to sexual behavior. Several 'honor'-based murders of Kurdish women, such as Fadime Sahindal, Banaz Mahmod and Du'a Khalil Aswad, and campaigns against 'honor'-based violence by Kurdish feminists have drawn international attention to this phenomenon within Kurdish communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHonor and the Political Economy of Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e provides a description of 'honor'-based violence that focuses upon the structure of the family rather than the perpetrator's culture. The author, Joanne Payton, argues that within societies primarily organized by familial and marital connections, women's 'honor' is a form of symbolic capital within a 'political economy' in which marriage organizes intergroup connections. \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on statistical analysis of original data contextualized with historical and anthropological readings, Payton explores forms of marriage and their relationship to 'honor', sketching changing norms around the familial control of women from agrarian\/pastoral roots to the contemporary era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanne Payton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978801718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978801714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Joanne Payton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365304201471,"sku":"9781978801714","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff3034eb-cbd3-40ae-970d-7cdd3e2c551e.jpg?v=1697057776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/honor-and-the-political-economy-joanne-payton-9781978801714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
