Don’t call us Arabs! It’s a line that Joseph Wakim has heard often from his fellow Lebanese Australians. Now Wakim, one of the founders of the Australian Arabic Council, and a former Victorian government Multicultural Affairs Commissioner, has written a memoir about ethnic and religious identity in Australia. Sorry, We Have No Space tells the story of his efforts to unite Christian and Muslim Arabs into a strong and loyal part of the Australian community. Joseph Wakim chats with Andrew West.
