Political Psychology of the Veil

Discover the intricate dynamics of identity and perception in Sahar Ghumkhor's thought-provoking book, Political Psychology of the Veil. Published by Springer Nature Switzerland AG in 2021, this 274-page paperback delves into the complexities surrounding the veiled woman, challenging conventional notions of orientalism and the understanding of women's bodies. Ghumkhor argues that the focus on the veil often reflects the West's own limitations in knowledge and truth-making, rather than truly engaging with the experiences of those it seeks to define.
