  • Renowned authors delve into the turbulent history of a multilayered symbol and take us beyond the "for" or "against" in the complex world of the veil
  • Diverse facets of the subject are illuminated, examined and interpreted in and from the fields of architecture, history, art, film, literature and philosophy
  • The inherent political, ideological and cultural ascriptions of the veil are explored and boldly transcended
