Headscarves and the Court of Justice of the European Union: An Analysis of the Case Law

by Erica Howard

Overview

This book examines the Islamic headscarf cases of the Court of Justice of the European Union and places these in context of the Islamophobia existing across Europe. It assesses how EU law can best protect women who want to wear headscarves at work for religious reasons and why this protection is important not only for the women but also for the EU.
