What Does the Veil Know

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
