When Anthony Shadid—one of four New York Times reporters captured in Libya as the region erupted—was freed, he went home, not to Boston, Beirut, or Oklahoma, where he was raised by his Lebanese American family, but to an ancient estate built by his great-grandfather, a place filled with memories of a lost era when the Middle East was a world of grace, grandeur, and unexpected departures.

In the wake of post-9/11 xenophobia, Obama's record-level deportations, Trump's immigration policies, and the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, the US remains entrenched in a circular discourse regarding migrant justice.

Verbrechen aus "Ehre": Hintergründe und Strategien zur Prävention. Obwohl sogenannte Ehrenmorde nur einen kleinen Teil der Tötungsdelikte hierzulande ausmachen, erschüttern sie uns besonders, wir sind kaum in der Lage, sie rational und emotional zu verstehen.
