The book explores the legal challenges faced by visibly Muslim women, revealing the racialized divisions that undermine the concept of liberal legal neutrality. Falguni Sheth analyzes the experiences of Muslim women of color and Black Muslim women as they navigate the U.S. judicial system in their fight against discrimination. Through various judicial encounters, the work highlights a consistent pattern of exclusion from liberal protections and critiques how courts pressure individuals to conform to societal norms for acceptance within the liberal framework.
