Miniskirts, Mothers, & Muslims
Tuesday, September 28, 7:00 pm
The Food for Thought Book Discussion Group is reading Miniskirts, Mothers, & Muslims by Christine Mallouhi. The author, who is an Australian, and her Arab Christian husband have lived in many different Muslim cultures. The book is full of insights into Arab culture and Muslim people and examines status, the place of women in Muslim culture, as well as segregation, restrictions, and family life. This book provides examples of the conventions that govern Muslim society and how Westerners unknowingly commit mistakes when interacting with the Muslim culture. The book discussion will be Tuesday, September 28, at 7:00 pm. To get a book, call Linda Crawford at 336-2277, or Elaine Larson at 361-3262.
