AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sad and funny, sexy and sensitive, angry and insightful: the deeply personal stories in this book reflect a rainbow of experiences and emotions, as diverse as the storytellers themselves. Join chief editor Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli and the Australian LGBTIQ Multicultural Council for a journey of discovery through queer multicultural multifaith Australia, with more than sixty voices from across the spectrum of sexualities and genders, families and relationships.

'Annette Xiberras, lesbian Wurundjeri Elder with a Maltese father, provides a Welcome to Book and insights into her Indigenous-migrant family.

'Filmmakers Tony Ayres and Franco Di Chiera share their experiences telling stories from minority cultures on Australian screens, while Benjamin Law talks queer Asian-Australian identity, and making The Family Law for SBS. Broadcaster Faustina Agolley talks about being 'out' as a woman of colour, and Anton Enus tells us about coming out as a 'coloured' gay man in South Africa.

'Entertainer Paul Capsis reflects on doing Cabaret in the age of Trump while Asiel Adan talks about non-binary gender across the US border in Mexico. Meanwhile, Christos Tsiolkas imagines Ari, the protagonist of his iconic novel Loaded, now middle-aged, during a weekend of mass violence in distant Paris, while Patrick Abboudtravels the world so he can come home.

'Alyena Mohummadally searches for reconciliation between her queer and Muslim identities and Tony Briffa shares a personal story of growing up with intersex variations and the rigidity of Western medicine.' (Production summary)

[Review] Living and Loving in Diversity : An Anthology of Australian Multicultural Queer Adventures Arjun Rajkhowa , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Journal of Intercultural Studies , vol. 40 no. 4 2019; (p. 521-523)
— Review of Living and Loving in Diversity : An Anthology of Australian Multicultural Queer Adventures 2018 anthology autobiography 'Since Multicultural queer: Australian narratives (1999) edited by Peter Jackson and Gerard Sullivan, the book Living and Loving in Diversity: An Anthology of Australian Multicultural Queer Adventures. is Australia’s most significant anthology on and by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people from multicultural-multifaith (MCMF) backgrounds. With essays, commentaries, and narrative prose and poetry, this anthology straddles different genres and cultural spaces. It is a compendium of multifarious stories that speak to and seek to reckon with experiences of living in (multicultural) Australia as an ethnically, culturally or religiously diverse LGBTIQ person. At its core, it is a repository of memories and recollections, a composite of narratives that describe the challenges and triumphs, and joys and pain of lives lived on the boundaries of belonging and not-belonging; this is a book that charts how the boundaries and parameters of MCMF, ‘mainstream’ Australian, and queer social, cultural and political paradigms – and the values and conflicts that define these paradigms – have shaped the lives of LGBTIQ MCMF individuals. In a sense, this is a confessional compendium; disclosure and revelation serve to intimately narrate each author’s life history to the reader. Each of the authors demonstrates an invigoratingly honest approach to telling their stories.' (Introduction)
