Veiled Threat

Written in a sharp and illuminating voice, 'Veiled Threat' is a necessary exploration of what it is to be a visibly Muslim woman in Britain today; a nation intent on forced assimilation and integration that views covered bodies as primitive and dangerous. From being constantly bombarded by racist stereotypes to being subjected to structural inequalities at every level, the author asks why Muslim women are forced to grapple the twin oppressions of state-sanctioned Islamophobia and patriarchal norms within their own community, all while being told by white feminists that they need saving.
