Books by Reina Lewis

Reina Lewis analyzes Muslim modest clothing as fashion and shows how young Muslim women (with a focus on Britain, North America, and Turkey) are part of an emergent transnational youth subculture who use fashion to negotiate religion, identity, ethnicity, and mainstream consumer culture.

The author challenges masculinist assumptions relating to the stability and homogeneity of the Orientalist gaze. The extent of women's involvement in the popular field of visual Orientalism is revealed.
