Reviews

"Introducing novel interpretations and ideas, Unveiling the Nation is an accurate and well-researched account of the debates on the status of religion in the public sphere in both France and Quebec." Denise Helly, Institut national de recherche scientifique
"Unveiling the Nation advances knowledge of current Muslim clothing bans in France and Quebec but also of the political theory around how parties create and use these arguments. The revelation that commissioners portrayed consensus when there was little and the insights into debates between various feminist groups are particularly important additions to the research in this field." Caitlin Killian, Drew University
