Abstract:
〈div〉In 1989, three Muslim schoolgirls from a Paris suburb refused to remove their Islamic headscarves in class. The headscarf crisis signaled an Islamic revival among the children of North African immigrants; it also ignited an ongoing debate about the place of Muslims within the secular nation-state. Based on ten years of ethnographic research, 〈I〉The Republic Unsettled〈/I〉 alternates between an analysis of Muslim French religiosity and the contradictions of French secularism brought to light by this Muslim identity.〈BR〉〈/div〉
