商品簡介
Grace (postcolonial literature and feminist theory, Sussex U.) goes beyond Western feminists' reading of the veil as a symbol of women's oppression to explore the more complex role of veiling over the last 120 years. Her introductory chapter considers the veil as a social and literary construct and explains the use of feminist, postcolonial, psychoanalytic and postmodern theory. The remaining chapters are arranged geographically and chronologically and investigate the nationalist, religious, political and cultural meanings of the veil from the 19th century through the present.
