The Politics of the Veil

The Politics of the Veil by Joan Wallach Scott

In 2004, the French government instituted a ban on the wearing of 'conspicuous signs' of religious affiliation in public schools. Though the ban applies to everyone, it is aimed at Muslim girls wearing headscarves. This book argues that the law is symptomatic of France's failure to integrate its former colonial subjects as full citizens.
