001356264 520__ $$aWithout resorting to sensationalism, this program explores the custom of female circumcision which has been commonplace throughout history. Today it is still practiced in many cultures, particularly in Africa. Rites shows the efforts of women throughout the world to stop the practice. Rites considers three major contexts in which female genital mutilation (FGM) occurs. The first is "cosmetic," and the second is "punitive." Medical historian Dr. Ornella Moscurri describes how women in the late 19th century were subject to FGM if they stepped out of line. The third context is as part of the cultural transition to adulthood and initiation into female life. Routine mutilation has been fiercely attacked by Western observers, despite accusations of cultural imperialism. By confronting taboos Rites facilitates clear-headed discussion.
