This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This research has two primary, interwoven themes - Muslim women and veiling, and discriminations experienced by Muslim women as a result of their veiling.

In addition, this research explored why Muslim women choose to wear a head covering, despite many of their experiences. The veil has multiple meanings for Muslim women, which span across several areas of their life, and which are also discussed in this research. Many of the findings here can also be applied to other areas of society in which discrimination occurs. 112 pp. Englisch.…
