        06/11/2007 | | African Studies, Anthropology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Health, Medicine & Caregiving, Human Rights & Law, Middle Eastern Studies, Reviews

        American Ethnologist calls Female Circumcision: Multicultural Perspectives, edited by Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf, "a provocative book, clearly written for both general and scholarly audiences" and "a respectful dialog that yet presses determinedly for change."

        The complete review is available at the American Ethnologist site.
