Infibulation is the most extreme form of female circumci- sion. It plays an important role in the Islamic societies of northeastern Africa.

In this volume, Hicks analyzes female circumcision as a cultural trait embedded in a historically traditional milieu and shows why it cannot be treated in isolation as a single issue destined for elimination.
