A review by krussek
Desiring Arabs by Joseph A. Massad

4.0

While I wish Massad’s writing was a bit tighter, this is a groundbreaking book.

Reading about Western sexual epistemologies (and the Arab reaction to those epistemologies) from an Arab perspective is massively enlightening.

Admittedly, I’m very unfamiliar with Arabic so I had difficulty keeping the names of the authors and texts referenced straight. This’ll probably be due for a re read when I’ve become More Smart.
