| The combination of limited sources on non-hetero sexualities in the Middle East, particularly regarding women, and increased scholarly and public interest in this subject makes Bareed Mista3jil a critical and timely publication. This collection of 41 narratives about Lebanese lesbian, bisexual, queer, and questioning women and transgender persons is published by Meem, a Lebanese organization for homosexual women. The wide range of non-heterosexual experiences depicted in this book succeeds in capturing the intersecting complexities of people's identities and lifeworlds. In order not to exclude those unable to write their own stories, Meem assembled most of the stories in this collection from 150 interviews, which were written into narratives, approved by the interviewees, and published anonymously. The narratives are accompanied by an Introduction, written by Meem, which suggests that the objective of this publication is to allow the stories of lesbian, bisexual, queer, and questioning women and transgender persons to be heard. This, Meem hopes, will encourage the embracement of different sexual orientations in Lebanon. | |
