As a Pakistani-Australian teenager growing up in western Sydney, Sarah Malik
came of age in the shadow of September 11. At the age of twenty, she moved out
of home to begin her life as a university student, Muslim feminist and
journalist. In this energetic and timely book, Walkley Award-winner Malik
dissects the many layers of identity that have shaped her, from faith to
feminism, race and class. While navigating religion and family, forging a career
in media and looking for a home of her own, Sarah lays bare the complexities of
living between different worlds. She shares stories of working in a newsroom in
the age of Islamophobia, studying Arabic in Jordan, mastering the art of
swimming, loving Jane Austen, and her experiments in the world of ' wellness'
and therapy. Desi Girl explores the power of writing from the margins and how to
find - and take - your place in the world.
