Shortlisted, Dobbie Award for a First Published Book, Nita B Kibble Awards 1996 Shortlisted, Ethnic Affairs Commission Award, NSW Premier's Literary Awards 1996 What is it about Muslims that fascinates yet repels mainstream Australians? Why do some Muslim women choose to cover, while others don't? What is life in Muslim communities really like? Hanifa Deen takes us on a journey to the heart of Muslim Australia. She goes to Melbourne for Ramadan, attends the wedding of a convert and seeks out the true believers in Sydney's Lakemba. She tells stories of migration and settlement, happy and traumatised families, and the problems of young people straddling two worlds. She discovers strong communities, dynamic women's networks and a wide variety of religious practice. Caravanserai is a compelling and revealing account of an Australia that is little known and often misunderstood.
