She directed my attention to Jordanian-made films about the subordination of women inside the home, and to Rana Husseini’s powerful book on honor killings, Murder in the Name of Honor . But her implicit message was that these critical examinations of women’s inequality in the Arab world are most enlightening when they are created by women’s advocates from within that culture, rather than sensationalized or superficial versions of the problem created in the West.
她把我的注意力引向多部约旦制作，讲述妇女家庭从属地位的电影，以及一本有关“荣誉谋杀”的大作——由拉娜·胡赛因撰写的《谋杀：以荣誉的名义》。而她的言下之意则是，这些对于阿拉伯世界里女性不平等现象的严厉拷问，来自阿拉伯文化内部妇女的呼声要比耸人听闻或肤浅无比的“西方制造”版本更加发人深省。
