Abstract

In 1921, a little over a hundred years ago, Australia’s Muslim population of three thousand barely made a dent in Australian society. Fast forward to 2021: 813,392 Muslims call Australia home. While Muslims settled in Australia in the early 18th century, albeit in small numbers, it was the post-World War II period that truly spurred on the growth of the Muslim community. When once their contributions to Australian society were largely economic and socially based, Muslims in contemporary Australia – or perhaps the better term would be Australian Muslims – are now contributing in new ways, forming new spaces and domains of civic and social life. Australian Muslims are connecting directly with the Australian way of life, participating in the arts, and forming their own multicultural organisations. From poetry slams to writer’s festivals to art museums, the Muslim community’s rapid development and commitment to the Australian way of life is not only reflective of their resilience (Dunn et. al., 2015) but is also a testament of their ongoing contribution to Australian society. This chapter traces the historical presence and contribution of Muslims in Australia from the postwar period to the contemporary era and assesses the Muslim community’s growth and contribution to Australia and the Australian way of life. The chapter contends that Muslims in Australia are embracing their unique Australian Muslim identities by engaging in, and developing, new creative and innovative spaces.
