In recent years, the figure of the Muslim Woman has loomed large over mainstream feminist debate in France. Cast alternately as a Frenchwoman-in-the-making or a veiled threat, the Muslim Woman has become emblematic of Frances relationship to those identified as its cultural others. But throughout these debates, and in spite of their scale and passion, one view has been glaringly absent: the view of French Muslim women themselves. Drawing on ...

This book aims to fill this gap in the knowledge. The state of the art described in this book has hardly changed over the past twenty years; in general, very few excavations have been carried out in ...
