Visibly Muslim: Fashion, Politics, Faith
Autor Emma Tarloen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2010
This timely and important book cuts through media stereotypes of Muslim appearances, providing intimate insights into what clothes mean to the people who design and wear them. It examines how different ideas of fashion, politics, faith, freedom, beauty, modesty and cultural diversity are articulated by young British Muslims as they seek out clothes which best express their identities, perspectives and concerns. It also explores the wider social and political effects of their clothing choices on the development of transnational cultural formations and multicultural urban spaces.
Based on contemporary ethnographic research, the book is an essential read for students and scholars of religion, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology and fashion as well as anyone interested in cultural diversity and the changing face of cosmopolitan cities throughout the world.

Recenzii
Fluid style, beautiful pictures, and honest stories.
Beautifully written and compelling, Emma Tarlo's new book finds a way to be fair-minded in the political minefield that surrounds the dress of visibly Muslim women in the UK. Animated by the nuanced detail of sartorial biographies and documenting changes in hijab fashion, Visibly Muslim provides a sophisticated examination of the dramatic increase in covered dressing and the reasons why it continues to matter so much to its practitioners and observers. This makes an essential read.
Tarlo's finely written analysis of Muslim women's dress choices in Britain is sensitive, thoughtful and measured-- a refreshing counterpoint to the two dimensional media coverage of the subject. She examines such choices from multiple angles: personal, aesthetic, social, religious and political, while making sure that we understand the dynamism inherent in decisions about dress.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in Muslim women's expression of faith in the UK.
Tarlo's work shows the changing contemporary styles of first-generation British Islamic fashion design companies and opens dialogue for mutual understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims interested in clothing subtleties. Highly Recommended.
This is an outstanding contribution to the debates about Muslim dress and identity in the contemporary world. Tarlo has produced a tour-de-force that should help reframe the debates about Muslim dress and Muslims in the West more generally.
This beautifully written and illustrated book by Emma Tarlo is remarkable for showing just how much of profound significance has been left out of sight in earlier scholarly discussions - paradoxically, perhaps given that veiling as a social phenomenon concerns visibility, the social and personal significance attached to declaring oneself sartorially a Muslim in public.
This well researched book with its lively interviews and informative footnotes lives up to its promise to educate on fashion, politics, and faith in a world which includes 1.5 billion people whose religion is Islam.
Splendid ... Tarlo's book gives the reader a clearly-written, beautifully illustrated, way to understand the lives of British Muslims; a true anthropological achievement.
A fascinating and important study of the clash as well as the confluence of civilizations, one that should be of interest to scholars while easily within reach of students
The book does an excellent job of demonstrating that young, cosmopolitan Muslims do not see a tension between "fashionable" and "Islamic" and that instead such dress practices feed on one another with significant local variations.
An edifying book on Muslim women in contemporary society, their choices, their faith and the challenges they face.
