From
Mayanthi Fernando is working on a book on contemporary Muslim piety and French secularity (laïcité). It analyzes emergent pious-Muslim ethical and political subjectivities as well as tensions within laïcité that emerge in its encounter with Islam, tensions that are deferred onto Muslim citizens who are put at risk as viable ethical and political subjects.
