Subject: Re: female circumcision


Hi Mousumi, Thanks for your response. I've presented a conference paper on
the subject, but I've had to put it on hold for a while to finish my
dissertation-- so I'm still need to do extended research that I hope
will lead to an article.  The conference paper dealt with the 20/20
episode on Dirlie (Summer 1997), the Kasinga political asylum decision,
and the prosecution of the Coulibaly family in France in the early 1990s.
Dirlie has since become a spokeswoman on the issue for the UN and Kasinga
has written an autobiography.I've seen profiles and book reviews on the
two, but haven't compiled a bibliography. I've also been told about a Law
and Order episode, but do not have any precise information about it. If
anyone else knows of any recent examples concerning the representation of
FGM in the U.S. and Europe media, I too would be interested in citations.
Joe Flanagan
