Demystifying The Niqab: A History of The Face Veil, The Laws Against It, and Why It Is Important:
The face veil, otherwise known as the niqab or burqa, is one of the most politicized articles of clothing in the Western world. Laws have been passed to ban the veil, both hair and face, all over Europe. Many Western individuals would be surprised to learn that the face veil is a part of European history and Christianity (Protestantism and Catholicism). The advent of colonialism led to the face veil being demonized to separate the European from its colonies. Anti-veiling rhetoric became popular in the 1800s as means of control of its colonies. After 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan, anti-veiling rhetoric would reemerge in the West with the rise of islamophobia and xenophobia.
This book covers many facets surrounding the face veil from history, religion, politics, and women's accounts. Exploring Muslim women who wear the face veil and why they do so, along with diving into Islamic, Christian, and Jewish theology surrounding their veiling practices. From White feminism to secularism, this book shows how the concern for the face veil is about patriarchal control and White Christian systematic dominance over every women's body. By exploring feminism, politics, history, religion, and women's accounts, the author hopes to give the reader an in-depth look at why we should care about the face veil and women who decide to wear it.
