Reviews

"""Between Care and Community, a well-documented, well researched analysis of forced marriage prevention policy, both informs and unsettles. Helena Zeweri makes a real contribution to studies on the anthropology of marriage and biopolitics of intimacy, and poses important questions concerning first generation migrant women and notions of family, culture, and the domestic.""— Frances Julia Riemer, author of Working at the Margins: Moving Off Welfare in America ""This exquisitely nuanced ethnography takes anti-carceral feminism to new heights! In tracing how 'coercive violence' amongst migrant families in Australia comes to be defined and policed, Zeweri demonstrates how Muslim women are still being used to justify anti-immigrant policies, whether they are framed as victim or threat. Most importantly, she shows that intimate forms of violence cannot be understood outside the violence of war, displacement and detention.""   — Miriam Ticktin, author of Casualties of Care: Immigration and the Politics of Humanitarianism in France ""Between Care and Criminality offers unique insights into how social policies are lived on the ground by frontline workers, community leaders, and the young people who they target. The book resists the static portrayals of forced marriage in providing empirical examples of families who negotiate tensions surrounding marriage decisions within the context of family dynamics.""— Reva Jaffe-Walter, author of Coercive Concern: Nationalism, Liberalism, and the Schooling of Muslim Youth"
