Womens and their others feminism, academy and islam

Nowadays, the veil of the Muslim women - either real or metaphoric - make part of clearly and sounding political rhetorics at different levels. It is my intention to remind that gendered relationships between Anthropology, Islam and international and national politics have largely supplied the production of this speech-making, concurring, thus, for its political thickness. This is why these relations must always stay under scrutiny regardless of the scale of our ethnographies, reminding us that the first step to 'unveil' Muslim women is to allow political immunity to anthropological inquiry.
