Questioning French Secularism : Gender Politics and Islam in a Parisian Suburb PDF
by Jennifer Selby
Part of the Contemporary Anthropology of Religion series
- Information
Description
Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book examines how contemporary secularism in France is positioned as a guarantor of women's rights.
Selby argues that the complex "fetishization" of headscarves in public, governmental, and feminist French discourse positions publicly-visible Muslim women in ways that obscure their engagement with laicite (French secularism).
