Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 09:37:32 -0500 (EST) From: Joseph Flanagan III <flanagan-AT-odin.english.udel.edu> 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.
