Download Beyond Veiled Cliches: The Real Lives of Arab Women AudioBook Free
As anyone who has a foot in both the Western and Arabic worlds, Amal set out to explore the lives of Arab women both in Australia and the Middle East, travelling to the spot and interviewing more than 60 women about feminism, intimacy, love, sex and shame, trauma, war, religion and culture. Beyond Veiled Cliches explores the similarities and variations experienced by these ladies in their daily lives - work, connections, home and family life, friendships, the communities they live in plus more. Arab-Australian women are at the intersection - between Western ideals and Arab tradition. It could get messy, but there is also great beauty in the layers. In a period of racial anxiety and growing global dread around terrorism, there's a renewed fear of 'the other'. At its center, this fascinating book normalises people and their activities. The breadth, variety, and beauty of what Amal has found out will enthral and delight you.
