Beschreibung
Genital modifications have been practiced for thousands of years. While the female form is condemned in the Western world as a serious bodily injury, the removal of the foreskin in boys and men is considered harmless, if not medically beneficial. In her book *Intimate Injuries*, Melanie Klinger examines the diverse aspects and contexts of genital-altering practices. The focus is on the question of whether and to what extent the circumcision of female and male genitals is comparable, and what similarities and differences exist. A comprehensive examination from medical, psychological, sociocultural, and political perspectives.
