The Glory Garage: Growing up Lebanese Muslim in… par Nadia; Chandab-Adasi Jamal, Taghred
An excellent collection of essays by young Australian Lebanese Muslims (hyphenate that however you will). Lebanese Islam is quite a hot topic as the lines between religion and culture are delibeately or ignorantly smudged. I love reading about people's cultural experiences. I admit it, I'm a culture slut. I want more books in this vein.
Collection of stories about growing up Lebanese (and Muslim and a woman) in Australian society based on interviews with the 2 authors. Some funny, some sad. All dealing with the huge culture differences between their parents’ way of looking at the worlds and the 2000 way of life they see around them. Some rebel and some become more devout but most try to find some balance. p.102 –111 Soft Targets about abuse of Muslim women on public transport.
