Editorial Review | "As Bowen rightly suggests in the closing section of his book (having dealt with recourse to legislation in the middle), underlying concerns about the development of separate communities (communautarisme), radical Islam and gender discrimination are concealed by the dispute over headscarves."--Malcolm Crook, Times Higher Education Supplement
"[An] excellent book"--Richard Wolin, Nation
"[A] lucid and thought-provoking book."--David A. Bell, New Republic |
