“…Fixed classifications can be valuable in illustrating the struggle that occurs in situated settings, but not enough to capture the complexity of these processes (Anthias, 2020). To understand the complexities of whiteness, some researchers highlight the importance of the intersection of place, time, and meaning (Anthias, 2020;Husain, 2017;Husain, 2019;Karaman & Christian, 2020;Karaman & Christian 2021;Selod, 2018;Shome, 1999). Anthias (2020) shows that in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, for example, migrants or minorities are seen differently as cultural 'others' due to different social, cultural, and political environments in these countries.…”

This study analyzes whiteness from the perspectives of “politic of location” to understand how it has changed and applied across the globe, rather than ignoring the relevancy of white supremacy for some geographies that have a racially homogenous population. The first part of the article interrogates my personal experiences of whiteness in Turkey which has a racially homogenous population. In Turkey, my experiences with whiteness were not as a result of directly having white bodies, but rather by being a part of the dominant culture, nation, religion, and language. The second part of this study discusses my experiences of whiteness in the United States. I highlight the different ways in which I experienced whiteness that had to do with my position as a Muslim Turkish woman in racially diverse America. In this autoethnography, by showing my relations and experiences within the discourse of whiteness and racialization of Muslims, I show how whiteness has significantly different meanings in different locations, and how whiteness’s ideology affects people’s experiences through local and global power relations.

“…That said, there is lack of research on women’s motivation for (un)veiling and their associated experiences (Yunianti, 2022). Existing research primarily focuses on the experiences of hijabi or non-hijabi women (Karaman and Christian, 2022), however, “records of the lived experiences of women who unveil [or take off the hijab] remain scarce” (Izharuddin, 2018, p. 156). Accordingly, this study specifically addresses the impact of the family identity on the (un)veiling experiences of Kuwaiti women.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop understanding of the extended self-theory by focusing on the influence of other people in identity constructions as experienced in collectivist Eastern contexts. It specifically addresses the impact of being treated as an extended self on Arab-Muslim women’s identity constructions. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a qualitative research approach consisting of 23 in-depth semi-structured interviews. Nonprobability, purposive sampling is followed as the study targets Kuwaiti women who identify as former hijab/veil wearers. Sample diversity is attained in terms of Kuwaiti women’s demographical characteristics, including their age range, marital status and social class. Findings The findings of this study reveal paradoxes of experiencing the collective extended self through familial pressure to (un)veil and the strategies used by women to reject engaging with the collective extended self, including contextualizing, substituting and sexualizing the veil. Originality/value Existing studies related to the notion of the extended self are primarily conducted in Western contexts, and as such, are oriented toward personal accountability related to identity constructions. To complement this perspective and address the call for research on the extended self in collectivist societies, this study highlights the importance of recognizing the role of other people in influencing identity constructions in Eastern contexts.

“…Berjilbab merupakan awal untuk membentuk pribadi yang baik bagi kaum perempuan muslimah, satu langkah untuk menyempurnakan ibadah, dan menyempurnakan akhlak. Tetapi bukan berarti bahwa seseorang yang berjilbab itu sudah dapat dipastikan memiliki akhlak yang baik (Karaman, 2022). Tetapi dengan menggunakan Jilbab itu sudah merupakan salah satu usaha untuk menuju dalam penyempurnaan akhlak, dengan tujuan menciptakan akhlak yang baik sesuai dengan anjuaran yang sudah disyari'atkan dalam agama Islam.…”
