Description

As a Shia Muslim woman, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown will never accept that the veil is a legitimate choice for any woman. Her mother's generation threw them off in the 20's and stamped their mark on history. Alibhai-Brown argues that what they did was as serious and brave as the struggles of western suffragettes.  The Koran does not command full veiling. In Refusing the Veil, she makes an argument for reclaiming female human rights and freedoms. Provocations is a groundbreaking new series of short polemics composed by some of the most intriguing voices in contemporary culture, and edited by journalist, broadcaster and commentator, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. Never less than sharp, intelligent and controversial, Provocations is a major new contribution to some of the most vital discussions in society today.

Author Biography:

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writes a weekly column for The Independent and occasionally for the Daily Mail and other newspapers. She is a broadcaster and author of several books. Her next book, Exotic England, explores England's relationship with the East. She is winner of the Orwell Prize for journalism and Professor of Journalism at Middlesex University. She is a Shia Muslim, born and raised in Uganda, a proud migrant and British Asian citizen.
