Book Honour Killing

Download or read book Honour Killing written by Ayse Onal and published by Saqi. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honour killing persists around the Middle East, where regimes refrain from tackling primitive traditions for fear of sparking unrest. Ayse Onal interviewed imprisoned men in Turkey convicted of killing their mothers, sisters, and daughters. The result is a revealing and ultimately tragic account of ruined lives - both the victims' and the killers' - in a country where state and religion conspire to hush up the killing of hundreds of women every year. 'Ayse Onal has done an immense service by revealing what it is like to live in an honour-based society and the terrible cost, not just to the women who are beaten and eventually killed, but to the perpetrators and other relatives.' -- Joan Smith. 'A compelling, disturbing examination of a tradition that stubbornly persists in modern Turkey' -- Guardian

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will not break me for I am unbreakable. He's the town's notorious bad boy. She's the innocent good girl. Jaxson Reid and Julia Sinclair were the most unlikely friends. One fateful night brought them together, and they formed a bond-one so strong it was unbreakable-until they gave into temptation. Fast forward five years and Jaxson is back to fix the mistakes he's made with the only girl who's ever mattered to him. Only someone isn't happy with his return, someone who thinks Julia is theirs, and they will stop at nothing to make sure it stays that way-forever. Jaxson will not only fight to protect Julia, but also battle the new and existing demons that haunt his soul from the death and corruption of war. *** Fighting Temptation is book one in the Men of Honor series. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but for the best reading experience, I recommend reading in order. If you love steamy, emotional Romantic Suspense stories with protective alpha males and sweet heroines who will stop at nothing to find their happily-ever-after, then this series is for you.

Book A Man of Honor

Download or read book A Man of Honor written by Joseph Bonanno and published by St. Martin's Paperbacks. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience-this was the 'glue' that held us together." These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss of Bosses," Joseph Bonnano, lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonnano found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only twenty-six, Bonnano became a Don. He would eventually take over the New York underworld, igniting the "Castellammarese War," one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City... Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno-likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather-takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New York's Five Families-Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese, and Genovese-and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses, but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in America's history.

Download or read book The Final Temptation written by K. C. Lynn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KAYLA He moved in next door to me, all bronzed skin and lean muscle, with a panty dropping smile that could make any girl weep with need. He set my body and teenage hormones on fire for three years. THREE LONG YEARS. In that time he became a cop- Officer Sexy as I liked to call him- and every time I pushed, he retreated. But I knew he felt it, I saw it in the way he looked at me. So one night I set my plan in motion and upped my game. I finally reeled the sexy bastard in, and he didn't know what hit him. COOPER She tempted me with her smart mouth and tight body for three painful years. I took an oath to uphold the law and honor it, which she made almost impossible not to break. But when the day finally came, I made her pay, every beautiful inch of her. She might drive me crazy and be the biggest pain in the ass, but she's my pain in the ass. And I'll spend everyday for the rest of my life making sure she never forgets who she belongs to. *** You asked for our story and now we are going to give it to you. Cooper and I are not only going to share our special day with you, but we are going to take you back to a time that was frustrating, sexy, explosive and downright beautiful. Here is our story, from beginning to... forever. This is a Novella with an HEA and is told in dual POV. It is the last book to the Men Of Honor Series. Although you don't have to read every book in the series, I strongly recommend that the first book, Fighting Temptation, should be read prior to Kayla and Cooper's story in order to understand many aspects of this book. WARNING Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of eighteen.

Book Men  Masculinities and Honour Based Abuse

Download or read book Men Masculinities and Honour Based Abuse written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the largely neglected relationship between men, masculinities and honour-based abuse (HBA). There is a common misconception that HBA - whether physical violence, emotional abuse or so-called 'honour' killings - occurs only against women. This book addresses the gap in the current literature concerning the relationship between men, masculinities and HBA. With contributions from an international and interdisciplinary range of both academics and professionals, the book examines HBA and forced marriages specifically from male-victim perspectives, both in the UK and internationally. Providing a clear understanding of the main theoretical and sociological explanations of HBA against male victims, the book demonstrates that, although men are indeed the main perpetrators of HBA, state agencies must address the fact that many men are also victims. This book is essential reading for students, academics, and practitioners alike.

Book In the Name of Honor

Download or read book In the Name of Honor written by Mukhtar Mai and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 2002, journalists throughout the world began to hear of the gang rape of a Pakistani woman from the impoverished village of Meerwala. The rape was ordered by a local clan known as the Mastoi and was arranged as punishment for indiscretions allegedly committed by the woman's brother. While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, and (sadly) not the last, journalists and activists were captivated. This time the survivor had chosen to fight back, and in doing so, single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan. Her name was Mukhtar Mai, and her decision to stand up to her accusers was an act of bravery unheard of in one of the world's most adverse climates for women. By July 2002, Mai's case was headline news in Pakistan and under international scrutiny, the government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money (a historic settlement), and her attackers were sentenced to death. Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls in an effort to ensure that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy. In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, In the Name of Honor is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a man pledges his honor to his country, that sacrifice is embedded in his soul forever. For years he's trained to fight, kill, and do whatever necessary to protect his country and its freedom, even if it means giving his own life. He becomes more of a machine than human-one that's built to destroy the enemy. When it's time to turn in his weapons, he never forgets the skills he learned. Never forgets the smell of death or feel of a rifle in his hands. The same hands that one day cradle his baby girl and caress the skin of his beautiful wife. If anything or anyone ever tried to steal away the family he has vowed to love and protect, may God have mercy on their soul.
