The Incidental Muslim: Undiluted perspectives on life, love and pop culture
First published in 2014.
“When someone writes what you think. That. Won’t be to everyone’s taste, but makes for interesting reading if you’re a young Muslim women particularly the late 20s/early 30s age range. Warning: you might find yourself nodding. A lot.”—Yasmin, GoodReads reviewer
The Incidental Muslim is an honest, witty and heartfelt collection of columns and new musings by writer Amal Awad on growing up in Australia—as a hybrid identity, with a look at career, life, love, feminism and her love of storytelling (even though Hollywood just can’t get their portrayals of Muslims right).
“The Incidental Muslim” is a collection of columns and short essays written by Awad that have been published in various publications previously. This collection of musings, organised into sections such as: Career Woman; Body and the veil; Religion and identity; and The happiness delusion, explore Awad’s experiences, opinions and values. They make for interesting reading, and expand on the ideas of being Muslim in Australia.—SamReads Blog
