Languages of Dress in the Middle East

Lindisfarne-Tapper, Nancy, Ingham, Bruce

Considers how the languages of dress in the region connect with other social practices, and with political and religious conformity in particular. Treating cases as diverse as practices of veiling in Oman and dress reform laws in Turkey, these ethnographic studies extend from Malta to the ME and Caucasus.
