Title: An Introduction to the Interdisciplinary Considerations of the “Burqa Ban” Trend: Criminalizing the Trivial or Separating National and International Law?
Abstract: The idea for this handbook evolved gradually in the wake of a joint research project to which six of the authors also contributed. As observers of a phenomenon that was spreading across several parts of the world, namely, the trend to ban Islamic full-face veils, Erik Daniel Baldwin, Willie Mack, Anja Matwijkiw, Bronik Matwijkiw, Ryan Long, and Anna Oriolo began to ask a series of probing questions that, in turn, led them to the discovery that the phenomenon was under-researched. Since two members of the team (Anja Matwijkiw and Bronik Matwijkiw) already had a manuscript on the so-called “burqa ban” in Denmark accepted for publication (The 2018 Danish ‘Burqa Ban’ : Joining a European Trend and Sending a National Message, 15 INTERNATIONAL STUDIES JOURNAL 55 (2018)), the attempt to use this as a platform for further examination and commentary, a sort of launchpad for a broader response, suggested itself. Together, the six researchers went on to co-author the article The Burqa Ban: Legal Precursors for Denmark, American Experiences and Experiments, and Philosophical and Critical Examinations (15 INTERNATIONAL STUDIES JOURNAL 157 (2018)). This successful effort inspired the next step – to write a book.
