Understanding the Islamic Veiling Controversy provides a
sophisticated analysis of relevant legislation and case law in
order to examine the assumptions and limits of the debates
surrounding the issue of Islamic veiling. For some, Islamic veiling
indicates a lack of autonomy, the oppression of women and the
threat of Islamic radicalism to Western secular values; for others,
it suggests a positive autonomous choice and a legitimate exercise
of one's freedom of religion -- a much treasured right in
democratic societies. Across seemingly diverse legal and political
traditions, however, a set of discursive frameworks -- the
preoccupation with autonomy and choice; the imperative of gender
equality; and a particular secular understanding of religion and
religious subjectivity -- shape the positions of both proponents
and opponents of various restrictions on Islamic veiling. Rather
than take a position on one or the other side of the debate, this
book explores and challenges these frameworks. And, in so doing, it
brings a consistent and sophisticated theoretical outlook to a
comprehensive consideration of Islamic veiling controversies, as
they have arisen around the world.
