الملخص الإنجليزي

This thesis is a critical study of honour crime as portrayed in the Anglo- Arab writer Fadia Faqir's novel My Name Is Salma.

It explores the cultural aspects and the social traditions pertaining to this issue.

The study explores honour crime from a feminist perspective with special emphasis on the role of patriarchy and its effects on the protagonist's ultimate tragic death.

The thesis explains the double oppression that the novel’s heroine faces in both her Bedouin society and in the new society where she seeks refuge from the threats of murder made by her brother in the name of honour as a way of cleansing the family’s honour and reputation.

Although this novel is set in two different cultures, the oppression upon the protagonist continues to be exercised both from her Bedouin society where she is oppressed according to her gender as a woman, and Western society where she is marginalized according to her ethnic origin as an Arab.

The study concludes that patriarchal societies set up unfair traditions derived from their inherited cultures to oppress women.

Honour crime becomes the responsibility of the woman without taking into consideration the responsibility of the man.

This practice ultimately leads to the woman becoming the sole victim of her society’s unjust traditions.

Honour crime tradition exists not only in Bedouin societies but also in some Arab and Muslim communities
