Opis

History of the Bosnian Muslim community of Australia is one of many ethnic histories across the nation. It belongs to the multiethnic, multicultural and multifaith mosaic of Australia. This pioneering socio-historical research is based on relevant theories, methodologies and empirical research. This history is firmly grounded in Islamic and multicultural values. The role of Islam in the settlement process amongst the Bosnian Muslims came into a wider sight. By collecting voices of immigrant experiences this collective history is recorded with increased depth and nuance. Bosnian Muslim immigrant stories and archival data represent a unique pathway to enrich the public record and to embellish Australian history. This book connects different immigrant generations and chronologically documents community via a comprehensive testimony of the distinctive immigration footprint of Australia.
