Perceptions contrastées du hijab parmi les ressortissants iraniens résidant au Royaume-Uni

Masoumeh Velayati

School of Geography, University of Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2 9JT, United Kingdom, M.Velayati{at}leeds.ac.uk

With the advent of Islamic nationalist resurgence from the early 1970s, many young women used the hijab as a symbol of resistance against Western imperialism and its cultural ideologies. The imposition of the hijab, soon after the revolution, led many feminists to signify the ideological weight of the hijab that entails a moral obligation for women. Data for this article are based on semi-structured interviews with some Iranian women, veiled and unveiled, and on the author's own observations.

Key Words: hijab • Iran • Islamic dress code • qualitative interviews • women
