The headscarf issue draws a great deal of public and academic
attention in Turkey, yet the debate largely unfolds within the
contours of the discussions over modernization, Westernization, and
the Islamic / secular divide. Rarely is there a discussion about
how the connotations of the headscarf shift across cleavages of
class and status among women wearing it. Instead, the headscarf is
typically portrayed as a symbol of Islamic identity, a 'cover' that
brackets social inequalities other than those based on a supposed
'clash of identities.' This study looks beyond these contours by
contextualizing the headscarf discussion in an insecure and
low-status private sector labor market - namely, retail sales.
Based on in-depth interviews, focus groups with lower-middle-class
saleswomen with headscarves, and ethnographic study in five cities
of Turkey, this book argues that the meanings of the headscarf are
continuously negotiated within the quest for social and economic
security.
