Law, Cultural Studies and the Burqa Ban Trend : An Interdisciplinary Handbook Book

Edited by Anja Matwijkiw, Anna Oriolo

Book

Description

Law, Cultural Studies and the "Burqa Ban" Trend: An Interdisciplinary Handbook offers an in-depth and multi-perspective account of the "burqa ban" trend.

With a focus on Europe and America, this book examines the law at national and international levels.

Its interdisciplinary approach encompasses ethics, gender studies, philosophy, political science and religion to provide much needed insights into value and identity politics, diversity, discrimination and human rights, in addition to the discussions surrounding the courts' contradictory judgments. The book also includes a first-hand account by a Muslim burqa-wearer, alongside contributions by leading academic researchers and legal professionals that provide food for thought that can benefit future discussions among scholars, students, legal professionals and policymakers.

Analytical work is supplemented with, among other aspects, examinations of the frameworks that derive from dialectical thinking or ideas and theories about democracy, autonomy and male and white desire to control, conquer and dominate.
