MUTILATION: A UK Perspective
(Ashgate / Routledge, 2015)
This groundbreaking handbook is required
reading for health, legal, educational and
social service professionals as well as
researchers, policy-makers, school governors,
journalists and other concerned citizens.
“Hilary Burrage's book is the pre-eminent
'state of the field' book on FGM. Although
the beginning and end points are located
in the UK, her scope is global, and anyone,
anywhere, with a practical or theoretical
concern about this controversial practice
will find much of value in it. It also contains
very useful information at the end on
further reading, multimedia resources, and
organisations active in the field.”
“The author, an active anti-FGM advocate and
activist for several decades is an expert on this
topic, and recognized and respected around the
world as such…. This is the best book ever written
about the sensitive subject of FGM, a very harmful
practice that affects girls and women not only in
third world countries (..) but also in the UK, USA,
Australia and Europe.” (Amazon reviews)
