Why is dress such an important issue for Muslims? Why is it such a major topic of media interest and international concern? This timely and important book cuts through media stereotypes of Muslim appearances, providing intimate insights into what clothes really mean to the people who design and wear them. It examines how different ideas of fashion, politics, faith, freedom, beauty, modesty and cultural diversity are articulated by young British Muslims as they seek out clothes which best express their identities, perspectives and concerns. It also explores the wider social and political effects of their clothing choices on the development of transnational cultural formations and multicultural urban spaces. Based on contemporary ethnographic research, the book is an essential read for students and scholars of religion, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology and fashion as well as anyone interested in cultural diversity and the changing face of cosmopolitan cities throughout the world"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 Muslim women |xClothing |zGreat Britain. 650 0 Muslim women |zGreat Britain |xSocial conditions. 650 0 Hijab (Islamic clothing) |zGreat Britain. 650 0 Burqas (Islamic clothing) |zGreat Britain. 650 0 Clothing and dress |xReligious aspects |xIslam. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2003011747 650 0 Veils |xReligious aspects |xIslam. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117710 650 0 Islam in mass media. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh95007228 650 0 Muslims in popular culture. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001005840 902 dws |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20100414 904 dws |ba |hm |cb |e20100414 914 (OCoLC)ocn460711288 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240703 |eprocessed |f460711288
