Resumen de Complex Equality: muslim women and the "Headscarf"

Maleiha Malik

  • The article reconsiders the methods used to understand Muslim women�s belief and conduct. Its analytical central challenge is to make space for the viewpoint of those Muslim women who are increasingly adopting the headscarf. The article suggests that a shift towards �complex� rather than �single axis� equality is more likely to accommodate the perspective of subjects � i.e. Muslim women themselves. �Complex equality� is more conducive to accommodate the viewpoint of Muslim women because it requires a realignment of gender against other criteria such as race, religion, culture and socio-economic disadvantage. It facilitates the inclusion of Muslim women as equal citizens in the European public sphere.
