Rezension zu „Lazreg, M: Questioning the Veil “
Long or short, sternly pinned or silkily draped, the Islamic veil is the most contentious religious symbol today, in the West as much as in the Muslim world... [Lazreg] feels passionately that Muslim women should not wear the veil, as both her mother and grandmother obediently did... [A] useful and timely counterpoint. -- "Economist Marnia Lazreg's discussion of the infamous piece of cloth, however, is different from most other treatises on the issue. It is personal and passionate... As such, it is a highly relevant intervention into the debate on the veil. -- Julia Droeber, Times Higher Education Sociologist Lazreg, an authority on Algeria, has issued a call for frank and unmediated conversation among Muslim women. In a series of four letters that assert the major points of contention--modesty, sexual harassment, cultural identity, conviction, and piety--she lays bare the issues, apologetics, and real lives of veiled Muslim women in an unprecedented fashion... A provocative text that demands a response. -- "Choice Questioning the Veil is an excellent examination of an extremely controversial and divisive piece of clothing, written with unimpeachable authority, and a valuable source of information for anyone seeking to achieve an informed perspective on the subject. -- Rabbi Dr Charles H Middleburgh, Charles Middleburgh blog Read as the author declares it to be, not a scholarly treatise, but a very personal inquiry, Marnia Lazreg's book is a rich and committed contribution to the current debate on the veil. -- Irina Vainovski-Mihai, Insight Turkey
