Unveiling the French Republic: National Identity, Secularism, and Islam in Contemporary France: Studies in Critical Research on Religion, cartea 7
Autor Per-Erik Nilssonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 noi 2017
In Unveiling the French Republic: National Identity, Secularism, and Islam in Contemporary France, Per-Erik Nilsson engages in a careful critical analysis of the Veil Affairs. His critique, for the most part, is not on the decision of Muslim women to wear the veil but rather on the misuse of secular ideology to justify religious intolerance and mask ethnic prejudice.
