Over the past few years, secularism has become an intrinsic
component of discussions on religious freedom and religious
governance. The question of whether states should restrict the
wearing of headscarves and other religious symbols has been
particularly critical in guiding this thought process. Refashioning
Secularisms in France and Turkey documents how, in both countries,
devout women have contested bans on headscarves, pointing to how
these are inconsistent with the 'real' spirit of secularism. These
activists argue that it is possible to be simultaneously secular
and religious; to believe in the values conveyed by secularism,
while still remaining devoted to their faith. Through this
examination, the book highlights how activists locate their claims
within the frame of secularism, while at the same time revisiting
it to craft a space for their religiosity. Addressing the lacuna in
literature on the discourse of devout Muslims affected by these
restrictions, this book offers a topical analysis on an
understudied dimension of secularism and is a valuable resource for
students and researchers with an interest in Religion, Gender
Studies, Human Rights and Political Science.
