'No single item of clothing has had more influence on Western images of Middle Eastern and North African women than the veil. Yet Veil is the first publication to explore the representation of the veil in contemporary visual culture. Extending possible interpretations of the veil and investigating the ambiguities and paradoxes expressed in contemporary arts practice, it provides both a social and historic context to the veil's multilayered symbolism.' (From the Book Cover)
Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title, the present publication features a number of essays which offer a critical discourse on the veil.
