AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Dobaiti has travelled across the seas with the Afghan people. The tradition lives on in the lives of refugee and migrant Afghans living in Australia. Mothers and grandmothers are now creating Dobaiti in contemporary settings around community centre tables in the mild winter nights of southwest and Western Sydney' (p. 24).

Notes

  • Epigraph:
    Kabul, such a grand and unique sunrise
    The Paghman's full moon is one of pleasure
    The colourful sunset of the Bakwa desert
    Gives the distressed Afghan a sense of splendour
