Freedom Books is exited to welcome author Nadeine Asbali to introduce and read from her new publication 'Veiled Threat', followed by audience questions.

Veiled Threat is a sharp and illuminating examination of what it is to be a visibly Muslim woman in modern Britain, a nation intent on forced assimilation and integration and one that views covered bodies as primitive and dangerous. From being bombarded by racist stereotypes to being subjected to structural inequalities on every level, Nadeine asks why Muslim women are forced to contend with the twin oppressions of state-sanctioned Islamophobia and unrelenting misogyny, all while being told by white feminists that they need saving.
