"Accoutrement obscène et dégradant", "négation de soi", "atteinte à la dignité humaine", "emblème du statut inférieur de la femme en islam", "symbole d’oppression", le niqab s’est vu dénoncé par des intellectuels, journalistes ou politiciens français en prologue à son interdiction par la loi votée le 11 octobre 2010. Un certain nombre de personnes dans notre société ont exprimé leur répulsion pour ces "fantômes en noir", Batman et autres Belphégor, allant jusqu’à les insulter sans avoir eu le moindre contact verbal avec ces femmes. Mais qui se cache derrière ce tissu voué aux gémonies ? La sociologue Agnès De Féo met à profit ses dix ans d’enquête sur les usagères du niqab en France pour nous permettre de découvrir leurs motivations profondes, loin des clichés réducteurs que leur opposent leurs détracteurs. Certaines se sont radicalisées en rejoignant la Syrie ou l’Irak, d’autres ont abandonné le niqab et jusqu’à la pratique de l’islam. Ce livre, préfacé par Olivier Roy, politologue spécialiste de l’islam, transcende les apparences et nous offre une plongée dans l’intimité insoupçonnée de celles qui ont fait trembler la République.

This book provides a useful comparative perspective on how the issue of wearing the full-face veil or burqa/niqab has been dealt with across a range of European states as well as at European institutional level. In so doing, the work draws a theoretical framework for the place of religion between public and private space. With contributions from leading experts from law, sociology and politics, the book presents a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to one of the most contentious and symbolic issues of recent times.

"Muslims in Britain and cosmopolitan cities throughout the West are increasingly choosing to express their identity and faith through dress, whether by wearing colourful headscarves, austere black garments or creative new forms of Islamic fashion. Why is dress such an important issue for Muslims? Why is it such a major topic of media interest and international concern? This timely and important book cuts through media stereotypes of Muslim appearances, providing intimate insights into what clothes really mean to the people who design and wear them. It examines how different ideas of fashion, politics, faith, freedom, beauty, modesty and cultural diversity are articulated by young British Muslims as they seek out clothes which best express their identities, perspectives and concerns. It also explores the wider social and political effects of their clothing choices on the development of transnational cultural formations and multicultural urban spaces. Based on contemporary ethnographic research, the book is an essential read for students and scholars of religion, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology and fashion as well as anyone interested in cultural diversity and the changing face of cosmopolitan cities throughout the world"--Provided by publisher.
