Staff and students of Islamic Middle Eastern and the Arab World at large will find a recent publication of mine ” Us and Them: Muslim Christian relations and social harmony in Australia” by the Australian Academic Press, of great interest. The publication has been recommended as a reference to all NSW government schools, and is being nominated for the Prime Minister’s Book Award in 2010.
Several of the chapters contain findings from a DIAC funded national survey conducted in several hundred SCHOOLS including Catholic , Anglican, and Muslim.
I have enclosed the table of contents and back cover as a broad guiding statement, below, as your staff may consider using it as a primary reference.
We would value you drawing the attention to them by copying the flyer attached to them,; or directing them to the Australian Academic Press : http://www.australianacademicpress.com.au/Publications/Books/4-921513190.html
