The tradition of the veil, which refers to various cloth
coverings of the head, face, and body, has been little studied in
Africa, where Islam has been present for more than a thousand
years. These lively essays raise questions about what is
distinctive about veiling in Africa, what religious histories or
practices are reflected in particular uses of the veil, and how
styles of veils have changed in response to contemporary events.
Together, they explore the diversity of meanings and experiences
with the veil, revealing it as both an object of Muslim piety and
an expression of glamorous fashion.
