She examines the long history of racism behind the law as well as the ideological barriers thrown up against Muslim assimilation. She emphasizes the conflicting approaches to sexuality that lie at the heart of the debate--how French supporters of the ban view sexual openness as the standard for normalcy, emancipation, and individuality, and the sexual modesty implicit in the headscarf as proof that Muslims can never become fully French. Scott maintains that the law, far from reconciling religious and ethnic differences, only exacerbates them. She shows how the insistence on homogeneity is no longer feasible for France--or the West in general--and how it creates the very "clash of civilizations" said to be at the root of these tensions. The Politics of the Veil calls for a new vision of community where common ground is found amid our differences, and where the embracing of diversity--not its suppression--is recognized as the best path to social harmony." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0834/2007013953-d.html. 000470589 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000470589 650_0 $$aMuslims$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aIslamophobia$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aRacism$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aHijab (Islamic clothing)$$xLaw and legislation$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aMuslims$$xCultural assimilation$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aSecularism$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aCulture conflict$$zFrance. 000470589 650_0 $$aIslam and politics$$zFrance. 000470589 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000470589 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aScott, Joan Wallach.$$tPolitics of the veil.$$dPrinceton, NJ : Princeton University Press, c2007$$z9780691125435$$z9780691147987$$w(DLC) 2007013953$$w(OCoLC)122715361 000470589 830_0 $$aPublic square (Princeton, N.J.) 000470589 8520_ $$bacq 000470589 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000470589 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=457906$$zOnline Access 000470589 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470589$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470589 980__ $$aEBOOK 000470589 980__ $$aBIB 000470589 982__ $$aEbook 000470589 983__ $$aOnline
