Why the French Don't Like Headscarves: Islam, the State, and Public Space
John R. Bowen
The French government's 2004 decision to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs from public schools puzzled many observers. This book argues that the focus on headscarves came from a century-old sensitivity to the public presence of religion in schools, feared links between public expressions of Islamic identity and radical Islam.
