    by Ann Laura Stoler ...
    Series series a John Hope Franklin Center Book

    Islam, the State, and Public Space

    by John R. Bowen ...
    The French government's 2004 decision to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs from public schools puzzled many observers, both because it seemed to infringe needlessly on religious freedom, and because it was hailed by many in France as an answer to a surprisingly wide range of social ills, from violence against females in poor suburbs to anti-Semitism.

  • Postcoloniality

    The French Dimension

    by Margaret A. Majumdar ...
    “Postcolonial theory” has become one of the key issues of scholarly debates worldwide; debates, so the author argues, which have become rather sterile and are characterized by a repetitive reworking of old hackneyed issues, focussing on cultural questions of language and identity in particular.
