Religious Freedom at Risk

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the complexities of religious freedom in Europe, the book delves into the European Court of Human Rights' role and the interplay of multiculturalism and secularism, particularly in France. It highlights the dynamics of a low-income French public school, examining the factors leading to the 2004 law banning Muslim headscarves. Through legal analysis and ethnographic insights, the author critiques narrow interpretations of religious freedom and their implications for secularism and democracy, making it an engaging read for students and scholars across various disciplines.
