“France's highest administrative court has suspended a ban on full-body "burkini" swimsuits that was imposed in a town on the Mediterranean coast.” (BBC)

Morton Weinfeld, Department of Sociology, McGill University

“I agree with the French court decision today, but the burkini issue is really a symptom of a much deeper issue in France and Europe generally.”
—Morton Weinfeld
