[Book Review]: "The Experiences of Face Veil Wearers in Europe and the Law, by Eva Brems Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014, 307 pages, £67, ISBN: 9781107058309". Insight Turkey, 19(4), 198-201.9.78E+121302-177Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12154/791The Islamic face veil is now banned in public spaces by several European countries; Austria being the last country to pass a bill for a general ban in March 2017 and Germany having decided for a partial ban for selected professions in April 2017. However, in reality many know very little about this religious practice that is marginal in numbers, yet has become an obsession of European domestic politics, embedded in narratives of security threat and gender equality –mostly formulated by outsider perspectives. The book under review, edited by Eva Brems, offers therefore a timely and significant contribution to the topic and, more generally, to the body of literature on Muslims and Islam in Europe.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessIslamic Face VeilEva BremsFace Veil Wearers in EuropeBook Review194198201Q4WOS:000446418100018
