The Headscarf Controversy: Secularism and Freedom of Religion - Religion and Global Politics
Elver, Hilal (Visiting Distinguished Professor, Global and International Studies, Visiting Distinguished Professor, Global and International Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, United States)
Hilal Elver offers an in-depth study of the controversy over the right of Muslim women to wear headscarves. Examining legal and political debates in Turkey, several European countries including France and Germany, and the United States, Elver shows the troubling exclusion of pious Muslim women from the public sphere in the name of secularism, democracy, liberalism, and women's rights.
