Congratulations to Professor Claire Robertson whose edited book, Genital Cutting and Transnational Sisterhood, was awarded the Susan Koppelman Award from the Koppelman Award Committee for the Joint Women's Caucus of the Popular Culture/American Culture Associations.

From the University of Illinois Press site:

"Genital Cutting and Transnational Sisterhood is a much-needed response to the ethnocentric and arrogant Western perceptions surrounding female genital cutting (FGC), often referred to as either female genital mutilation or female circumcision but including a variety of practices of varying history, severity, geographical distribution, and consequences."
