This text challenges the European dichotomy of space into public and private, and morality into honour and shame, and shows how these notions have mistakenly been applied to Arab women's use of the veil and, more broadly, to their position in society.

(Paperback)

In the 1970s, often to the consternation of parents and siblings, certain progressive young Arab women voluntarily donned the veil. This book draws on fieldwork, anthropology, history and original Islamic sources and aims to challenge the assumption that veiling is largely about modesty and seclusion, honor and shame.

(Paperback)
