Islamic Veiling in Legal Discourse looks at relevant law and
surrounding discourses in order to examine the assumptions and
limits of the debates around the issue of Islamic veiling that has
become so topical in recent years. 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, a new kind of gender
equality and a legitimate exercise of one's freedom of religion - a
treasured right in democratic societies. This book finds that,
across seemingly diverse legal and political traditions, a set of
discursive frameworks - the preoccupation with autonomy and choice;
the imperative of gender equality; and a particular western
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, the book focuses on the frameworks themselves,
highlighting their limitations
