Description
The Queer Arab Glossary is a groundbreaking survey of the language used around queerness in the Arab world. It brings together over 300 words and terms used to refer to queer people across the spoken Arabic dialects, ranging from humorous to harrowing, serious to tongue-in-cheek, pejorative to endearing. Featuring contributions by leading Arab queer writers, thinkers, and activists, as well as beautiful illustrations by Haitham Haddad, this bilingual glossary paints a linguistic picture of how queer bodies are perceived within the Arab region. Insightful essays by eight prominent figures in the field situate the glossary in a modern social and political context. This powerful response to myths about queer people in the Arab world is proof that the LGBTQI+ Arab community is alive and thriving, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of queerness in this region.
