Refashioning Secularisms in France and Turkey - Amelie (York University Barras - Bog

By adopting a bottom-up approach, Refashioning Secularisms in Turkey and France makes important empirical and theoretical contributions to the study of secularism and Islam. By looking into who is affected by secular policies as well as who is reformulating secularism and how, the study underlines the importance of women and gender relations in the formulation of contemporary secular tropes - a dimension that has been relatively sidelined in works on secularism.
