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.

很有意思,可以對比著中國看。我比較感興趣的是書中多次涉及到的一種全球化下的本地生活的張力。比如說貝魯特一方麵被西方人當做阿拉伯世界的基都前去體驗/性旅遊,另一方麵卻絲毫不減對當地同誌的打壓;又比如說很多年輕人看瞭西方影視作品就覺得齣櫃沒啥事於是就從齣瞭,結果立馬被逐齣傢門……
