Ewing exposes the obsessive preoccupation of Europeans with Muslim gender roles. A thinly concealed racism is indeed often behind feminist rhetoric adopted by individuals and groups who all too commonly ignore homegrown misogyny. \u003ci\u003eStolen Honor\u003c\/i\u003e is valuable because it gives an account of this phenomenon in a German context.\"—Deborah Gorham, \u003ci\u003eMen and Masculinities\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ewing brings a fresh perspective to the literature on Muslim immigrants in Europe by shifting her research focus from their cultural and religious characteristics to the national imagery of the majority population . . . This book should be required reading for graduate students to develop a critical eye for the literature on Muslim minorities in the West.\"—Ahmet Yukleyen, \u003ci\u003eJournal of Anthropological Research\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Katherine Pratt Ewing's \u003ci\u003eStolen Honor\u003c\/i\u003e provides an interesting and original approach to analysis of discourses of Islam in Europe by focusing on construction of Muslim masculinity in Germany . . . [The] book is particularly valuable in its interdisciplinary perspective.\"—Beverly M. Weber, \u003ci\u003eH-Net Reviews.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a highly original book that must be read by anyone interested in Muslims in Europe. Ewing flips the usual questions about discourses on honor and the 'oppression' of Muslim women to focus on their obverse: the stigmatization of Muslim men. Brilliantly linking media representations to the social worlds of Turkish origin men in Germany, she provides, ultimately, a devastating analysis of the fantasies that animate the German national imaginary.\"—Lila Abu-Lughod, Columbia University, author of \u003ci\u003eWriting Women's Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDramas of Nationhood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Considering the case of Turkish Muslims in Germany, Ewing's inventive exploration of fear, stereotypes, assimilation, community, conflict, and cultural discourses should be mandatory reading. The processes she uncovers are of central relevance in the world today.\"—Aisha Khan, New York University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Acknowledgments  1\tIntroduction: Masculinity and Cultural Citizenship  Part 1\tMythologizing the \"Traditional\" Man  2\tImagining Tradition: The Turkish Villager   3\tBetween Cinema and Social Work: Rescuing the Muslim Woman from the Muslim Man   4\tNegotiating Stigmatization  5\tRecovering Honor and Respect  Part 2\tStigmatized Masculinity and the German National Imaginary  6\tThe Honor Killing  7\tNational Controversies and Social Fantasies  8\tGermanness and the Leitkultur Controversy: Protecting the Constitution from the Muslim Man  Epilogue  References  Notes  Index","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865943486807,"sku":"9780804759007","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804759007.jpg?v=1722276308","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/stolen-honor-9780804759007","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
