By means of selected case studies, this book deals with the meaning of religious clothing practices for the bearers of various religious traditions. Against images of backwardness and heteronomy that are so often associated with religious clothing, it shows the complexity and contingency of processes of consideration and negotiation in everyday vestimentary decision-making situations. Jacqueline Grigo shows that religious clothing is not just an expression of social control or marker of religious belonging or difference - much more, in diverse ways it supports the construction of identity and the social orientation of the self.
