Monday Matters - Stories of Leaving and Becoming
In the landmark anthology 'Don’t Ask the Trees for Their Names' (2025, Gazebo Books), nine Arab women share their deeply personal journeys of migration to Australia, each reflecting on the legacies of their homelands and the complexities of forging new lives.
In their own voices, they explore the challenges of adaptation, the resilience born from adversity, moments of joy, and the enduring ties to their heritage. With unique perspectives, they examine Australian culture while confronting some of the world’s most pressing political injustices through the lens of lived experience.
With academic and author Jumana Bayeh, contributing authors will discuss working collaboratively, writing their lives, and the smaller aspects of cultures that find expression in 'Don’t Ask the Trees for Their Names'.
