Veiling in Africa de Elisha P. Renne

Veiling in Africa: African Expressive Cultures

Autor Elisha P. Renne, Laura Fair, Susan J. Rasmussen, Leslie Wahl Rabine, Adeline Masquelier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2013
The tradition of the veil, which refers to various cloth coverings of the head, face, and body, has been little studied in Africa, where Islam has been present for more than a thousand years. These lively essays raise questions about what is distinctive about veiling in Africa, what religious histories or practices are reflected in particular uses of the veil, and how styles of veils have changed in response to contemporary events. Together, they explore the diversity of meanings and experiences with the veil, revealing it as both an object of Muslim piety and an expression of fashionable glamour.

Recenzii

"Explores the many meanings and uses of veiling which is so often treated as a monolithic phenomenon emblematic of Islam in different African and African diaspora contexts." Emma Tarlo, Goldsmiths, University of London "Although Islam has existed in Africa for more than one thousand years, its influence on material expressive culture (dress, sculpture, painting, architecture) has not been as well explored as indigenous religious and cultural traditions. This volume examines the complex histories, politics, and experiences of wearing Islamic dress in sub-Saharan Africa." Heather Marie Akou, Indiana University Bloomington
