unspeakable love / Brian Whitaker 

Public ISBD Titre : unspeakable love Titre original : gay and lesbian life in the middle east Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brian Whitaker, Auteur Editeur : SAQI BOOKS Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 282 P. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-86356-483-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Homosexualité Index. décimale : G Santé, Corps et sexualité Résumé : Homosexuality is a taboo subject in Arab countries. Clerics denounce it as a heinous sin, while newspapers write cryptically of "shameful acts." Although many parts of the world now accept sexual diversity, the Middle East is moving in the opposite direction. In this absorbing account, journalist Brian Whitaker calls attention to the voices of men and women who are struggling with gay identities in societies where they are marginalized and persecuted by the authorities. He paints a disturbing picture of people who live secretive, fearful lives and who are often jailed, beaten, and ostracized by their families, or sent to be "cured" by psychiatrists. Whitaker's exploration of changing sexual behavior in the Arab world reveals that—while deeply repressive prejudices and stereotypes still govern much thinking about homosexuality—there are pockets of change and tolerance. The author combines personal accounts from individuals in the region with a look at recent Arab films and novels featuring gay characters and conducts a sensitive comparative reading of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic strictures around sexuality. Deeply informed and engagingly written, Unspeakable Love draws long overdue attention to a crucial subject.

Imperial Fictions / Rana Kabbani 

Public ISBD Titre : Imperial Fictions : Europe's Myths of Oriennt Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rana Kabbani, Auteur Editeur : SAQI BOOKS Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 256p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-86356-671-4 Prix : 13.50€ Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Histoire Résumé : "Rana Kabbani unravels Western fantasies and myths about the East which were woven over the ages. Devised during the Crusades to combat Islam, then confirmed by centuries of Western writers and artists, these myths fostered racial and sexual stereotypes that became vital to imperial designs. In Orientalist travelogues and paintings, the British and the French conceived of an erotic and sinister East, one that they believed to be morally inferior and dangerous, and therefore ripe for colonisation. Such perceptions remain very much apparent today, fuelling the tension between East and West. "Imperial Fictions", now a classic, is an erudite analysis of Europe's fabricated Orient, as expressed in its writings and illustrated in its paintings" En ligne : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/ [...] Imperial Fictions : Europe's Myths of Oriennt [texte imprimé] / Rana Kabbani, Auteur . - [S.l.] : SAQI BOOKS, 2008 . - 256p.
