520 _aHonor-based violence (HBV) is a serious concern for women and girls from particular ethnicbackgrounds. Unfortunately, while the sociology discipline pays significant attention to gender-basedviolence in western contexts, HBV is a topic under-studied in the field. This article reviews the literatureon HBV, typically coming from social work, cultural studies, and feminist studies, and focuses on thephenomena’s link to notions of masculinity and femininity, its collective nature, and the ways anOrientalist discourse has developed in western regions that address HBV. The article closes by identifyinggaps in the existing literature, and offers suggestions for future directions. (Authors' abstract). Record #7264
