The Queer Arab Glossary Paperback Book

The Queer Arab Glossary is the first-ever published collection of Arabic LGBTQ+ slang, a bold and comprehensive guide that captures the rich and diverse lexicon of the queer Arab community. When conventional language fails to express our identities, slang emerges as a powerful tool of protest and self-expression. This glossary features over 300 terms in both English and Arabic, ranging from humorous and tongue-in-cheek to serious and poignant. Enhanced by fascinating facts, anecdotes, and insightful essays from leading queer Arab artists, academics, activists, and writers, this book situates the glossary within a modern social and political context. Beautiful, witty illustrations complement the text, making it a visually engaging read. The Queer Arab Glossary challenges pervasive myths and stereotypes about sexuality, inviting readers to explore queerness across the Arab world.

Contributors include Saqer Almarri, Nisrine Chaer, Sophie Chamas, Rana Issa, Adam HajYahia, Mejdulene Bernard Shomali, Hamed Sinno, and Abdellah Taļa.

This groundbreaking work was made possible by the generous support of the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC), Mophradat, Bashar Assaf, and Mohammed Fakhro.
