Isolation, integration and identity: the Muslim experience in Australia
This special issue of the La Trobe Journal makes an important contribution to the understanding of the Muslim experience in Australia, both past and present.
The edition was published to coincide with the major exhibition, Love and devotion: from Persia and beyond, held at the Library in 2012. It includes an introduction to Islamic belief and practices, as well as articles on the history of Muslims in Australia, Islamic schools, the genesis of the Islamic Museum of Australia and the Young Muslims of Australia movement, amongst other topics.
