Product Description
In the pages of This Arab is Queer, readers will discover a groundbreaking anthology that gathers the poignant and fearless memoirs of eighteen queer Arab writers, including internationally acclaimed authors and those who choose to write under pseudonyms. This collection intricately weaves together the myriad experiences of the Arab queer community, presenting heartwarming connections, moments of triumph, and introspective essays that illuminate the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals of Arab descent. Spanning from narratives set within the confines of a military base in the Gulf to the tender exchanges of affection between partners, and from the glamorous world of a traveling drag performer to the historic scenes of a Cairo concert where the rainbow flag soared triumphantly, these stories celebrate the diverse and dynamic lives of queer Arabs, capturing the essence of their vibrant existence.
