`Though people may agree or disagree with his conclusions, anyone interested in the difficult and controversial topic of the restrictions on face-veiling in Europe, will benefit from reading the interesting, well-researched and elegantly-argued book Neville Cox has written.' -- Ronan McCrea, University College London, UK

'This important and timely book by Neville Cox thus reminds us that 'a legalistic language (can provide) an impoverished understanding of the competing motives, perspectives and sartorial styles by reducing the garment to its attributed symbolic meanings'. His thorough and systematic analysis of the alleged rationales of anti veiling laws reveals how law can serve the populist discourse -- of 'us' versus 'them' and endanger democracy whilst ironically pretending to save it.' - Myriam Hunter-Henin, European Convention on Human Rights Law Review 'Though people may agree or disagree with his conclusions, anyone interested in the difficult and controversial topic of the restrictions on face-veiling in Europe will benefit from reading the interesting, well-researched and elegantly-argued book Neville Cox has written.' -- Ronan McCrea, University College London, UK
